Module reports
Page last updated:
This guide provides information to help staff get started with Blackboard module reports.Â
Blackboard module reports track all module menu items automatically. However, if you want to track items within each area, you must enable statistics tracking manually for individual items.
Blackboard module reports enable you to access information about module usage and user activity.
There are eight different types of Blackboard module reports. These include:
- All User Activity inside Content Areas: A summary of user activity within different content areas in your module. Use this report to determine which students are active in your module, and to understand the content they are using.
- Course Activity Overview: Overall user activity within your module, sorted by student and date. This report can help you to understand which days of the week your students are active within your module, and how much time they spend.
- Course Performance: You can use this report to compare module activity against targets.
- Overall Summary of User Activity: This is an overall summary of user activity throughout the module, with dates and times. You can use this report to view student access, and understand how often students are using module tools.
- Single Course User Participation Report: You can use this report to access data about assessment and collaboration tool usage between specified dates, including assignments and test submissions.
- Student Overview for Single Course: Information about individual students.
- User Activity in Forums: This report displays information about user activity in any discussion boards within your module, such as which forums are used the most.
- User Activity in Groups: You can use this report to access a summary of user activity in sub groups for your module (if you are using these).
Note: Blackboard module report data is refreshed once per day, at midnight.
