Blackboard provides a statistics area for instructors to view information about their individual course sites.
You Can View the Following Course Statistics
- Overall Summary of Usage
- Accesses by Content Area
- Accesses by Group
- Accesses by Forum
You can adjust the filter to look at a specific time period, or a specific student or list of students.
If you do not choose specific students from the list, the statistics will include everyone who has visited your
course site, including those that are not enrolled. If you want the statistics to include just those enrolled
in the course, you must select them all using the Select Users feature.
Using the Course Statistics
The course statistics can be used in a number of ways to help you
effectively manage your course. You can easily see which students
are accessing your course site, and which are not, as well as how
often they are doing so. You could compare these numbers to the
final student grades to determine if using the Bb site has a connection
to student achievement. Also, if your course is held on Monday and
Wednesdays and you notice that the heaviest usage is on Saturday
and Sunday, it would be important to add new materials and announcements
on Friday.
