Feedback & Comments: In this section, staff can provide feedback and comments on suggested improvements to the interface, report any confusing wording or analytics they don't understand. Staff are also encouraged to provide specific examples of use cases, such as a particular filter they have chosen and how they will use those filtered results.
Intervention ideas: This section includes all the intervention activities developed along a course lifecycle that staff can use in their course. When a particular stage in a course is selected, such as 'Before Orientation Week' or 'Before Quiz/Exam/Assessment,' suitable activities will be presented.
Upload Blackboard Grade Centre File: Course Insights is no longer able to obtain grades automatically from Blackboard. Blackboard Grade Centre file needs to be uploaded here before assessment data can be viewed.
