Single Subjects User Participation Report

Overview

The Single Subjects User Participation Report generates an Excel file with a summary of student submissions and collaboration items in the vUWS site. The report generates the data from submissions in the Blackboard tests, assignments, discussion boards, blogs and journals but does not include 3rd party tools such as Turnitin. The report has two distinct features: most recent Submission and total Submission for each of these tools.

Examples of questions that this report can answer include:

• What and when was the last assignment submission by a student?
• What are the submission patterns of students within my cohort?
