Blackboard provides inbuilt analytic features including access to different parts of the course environment as well as activity timelines for tests and assignments. The functionality is limited when it comes to real-time tracking during online lectures but can be extended during online exams.
On the other hand, the learning management platforms such as Blackboard can provide information on students’ engagement with different aspects of the course, including discussion forums and online assignments and tests. Professors and universities are increasingly interested in these activity indicators to balance the negative consequences of remote lecturing.
If an assignment is done unusually fast it can be detected as suspicious activity. This means that even during exams that are not proctored, accessing course materials on Blackboard will be detected and can be flagged as potential cheating.
Blackboard comes with tools that can make cheating almost impossible. It comes with tools to administer proctored exams and detect plagiarism. The detection of plagiarism is automatic and the proctored exams require a specialized browser. Blackboard uses SafeAssign as a plagiarism detection tool.
Discussion Forums –a lot of the students’ interaction is done through the discussion forums. The teachers can gather information on the amount and length of posts by every student. This comes with tools to compare individual students with the average for the course.
More importantly, Blackboard can conduct proctored exams which can make cheating virtually impossible by having control over and recording all of your activity. I have summarized the information that can answer most of the important questions that students might have with a specific emphasis on monitoring activity during exams.
In a normal environment, teachers can make use of non-verbal signs by students to adjust their lecturing style and have the ability to observe students working on their in-class assignments. This allows them to follow the progress of their pupils and make sure that no one is falling behind.
