Gauging Student Participation
Is there a seamless way to gauge student participation in Brightspace? It should be authentically meaningful to students and instructors.

Hi Vanesa,
Can you please clarify what you mean. Are you looking for tools to see student participation or are you looking for tools that will allow for students to participate.

@Vanesa.K.936 ,
If you mean can instructors track a student's progress…theoretically, yes in Class Progress. You can see what units/lessons/pages students have clicked on.
However, if there are practice questions on the page, or instructions for a reflection, it will not track this unless it's set up as a quiz, assignment or discussion. -
Hi Vanesa! There are all sorts of things you can find in Brightspace that gauge student participation. One of the main things to consider is what you and your organization consider to be a good indicator of an engaged student.
It might be things like:
- how often they log on
- how often they view the course
- how often they view content topics
- how much they participate in discussion forums
There are a couple of ways to get information like this:
- The Contents report is useful. It shows how many times people have visited different pages in your course. See view course content statistics
- As @Jane.O.1385 mentioned, the Class Progress tool will give you an indication of how learners have interacted with different tools, and how many times they've accessed the course and platform in the last 30 days
- The Performance+ add on has a Learner Engagement dashboard that gives insight into how learners are getting on
Hopefully that helps!
