Overall Summary of User Activity<\/h3>\n

This is probably the most comprehensive report.\u00a0It displays user activity for all areas of the course, as well as activity dates, times and days of the week.

This produces an Excel file showing a summary of student engagement with Blackboard assignments, tests and tools such as discussion boards and blogs. Unfortunately it does not include Turnitin assignments in the submission data.<\/p>\n
