Review Status, Performance Dashboard, and the Retention Center are features in Blackboard that collectively enable instructors to access student progress. <\/p>\n

Review Status<\/strong> allows instructors to give students the ability to mark an item as \"reviewed.\" When Review Status is enabled, there are benefits for instructors and students. The instructor can check to see who has reviewed the item, while students can use the feature to keep track of which content they have reviewed. This is especially useful when students review content in a non-linear fashion.<\/p>\n

The Performance Dashboard<\/strong> is used to monitor student progress throughout the course and help keep them on track. A summary of access and progress for each student appears in a table format. Instructors can see the last time a student has accessed the course, which items they have reviewed, and how much they are participating in discussion boards.<\/p>\n

The Retention Center<\/strong> is a tool that allows instructors to monitor student performance. Instructors can utilize the Retention Center to identify students who are struggling and help them take immediate action for improvement. Instructors can begin using the default rules in the Retention Center immediately\u2014no additional setup is required. However, instructors can edit the default rules and\/or set their own criteria or rules to monitor student performance.<\/p>\n
