Instructors can use the Course Statistics area to generate reports on the course usage and activity. Instructors can view specific Student’s usage to determine if Students are actively using the Course. The report appears in the form of graphical charts.
Please note that, when viewing reports that include hit or access statistics, a hit is tracked every time a request is sent to the Blackboard Learning System. For example, when tracking use of the Communication Area: a Student accesses the Communication area (1 hit), clicks Discussion Boards (2 hits), clicks a forum (3 hits), and clicks a message to read (4 hits).
