Using D2L Brightspace Statistical Tools: Tracking Progress, Measuring Outcomes, and Increasing Student Engagement
How engaged are your students?  What are they focusing on the most (or giving only cursory attention to?) Have you ever graded an assignment, discussion, or quiz and wondered: Why are the scores below average? Why is participation so low? Perhaps students did not access the necessary material; perhaps students found the content confusing and its learning objectives ambiguous. But how to know? D2L has several tools that will help you see behind the scenes in order to answer these questions.

In this training session, we will not only discuss View Reports on Course Content, but also the analytical tools associated with Discussions, Quizzes, Rubrics, Grades, and Class Progress (which can reveal mode, median, and standard deviation). Therefore, the D2L Brightspace Analytical tools can provide information on student engagement and possible insights into a revision of the curriculum.
