Check out our Learning Analytics videos to discover new ways to catch struggling students earlier in the semester. As you will see, in moments you can run a course report to see how often students are accessing course content, and to spot those students whose performance indicates they may not be successful in the course.

Blackboard Course Reports

Blackboard continuously tracks individual student activity within a course in great detail. It automatically tracks students’ access (discussion boards, course materials, grade center, etc.) and can also compare students’ performance and access to the rest of the class. It is easy to create reports that show aggregate and individual course use.

Several reports are available within the Course Reports area, all with similar names. For a first foray into Learning Analytics, we recommend the Overall Summary of User Activity report.

Blackboard Retention Center

The Blackboard Retention Center takes tracking your students’ Learning Analytics to the next level by providing real-time alerts based upon course engagement and performance metrics. This How-To Video overview will show you how to:

• Navigate to the Retention Center

• Create Alerts Customized to Your Course(s)
