Brightspace Data Hub
From an administrator point of view, we are trying to figure out how many students are in each course in Brightspace, specifically the class list numbers for every course have in our school. Unfortunately, it looks like the only way to find this data is by individually going into every course and looking at the class list. We are a large school with many sections per course, so this takes at least a couple hours to do. Is there a data set that just lists the course offerings and then amount of people on the class list? Thank you!

Hello Devon, thanks for your question!
If your institution has Analytics Builder, it would be possible to create reporting in that to consistently have this information.
However, if you need to use Brightspace Data Sets, the process I would use is to run the Course Offering Enrollments Advanced Data Set (ADS). When you generate an ADS, you can specify the start and end dates, so you would be able to focus the report on the current semester, when enrollments began.
The Course Offering Enrollments ADS lists user ID's and Org Unit ID's, which means you would need to do a lookup on at least the Org Unit ID, using the Brightspace Data Set (BDS), Organizational Units (if you needed learner information you'd have to also lookup against the Users BDS).
Once you have that, you could narrow down by the same course and run a count.
Hope this helps to get you started.
