What Course Reports are available in Blackboard?

Instructions on how to generate course reports are in How to Generate Course Reports in Blackboard.

Course Reports provide different ways to view information about student activity, content, and course usage. Although there are several types of reports that are available, the most popular reports used by educators are as follows:

  • Student Overview for Single Course:
    gives similar information to Item Statistics Tracking without having to be turned on for each item individually. The report displays an individual student's activity within a course, sorted by date. Data includes the total overall time the student spent in the course as well as detailed information about the student's activity, such as which items and Content Areas the student accessed and the time spent on each.
  • Course Activity Overview Report:
    displays overall activity within a single course, sorted by student and date. Data includes the total and average time spent per user and the total amount of activity the user had in the course. It tells you when students are most active and the amount of time students spend in your course.
  • Overall Summary of Student Activity:
    displays an individual student's activity within a course, sorted by date. Data includes the total overall time the student spent in the course as well as detailed information about the student's activity, such as which items and Content Areas the student accessed and the time spent on each.
  • All User Activity inside Content Areas:
    displays a summary of all user activity inside Content Areas for the course. This will tell you which content areas in your course students use most.
