Progress tracking in Blackboard

Progress Tracking can help your students monitor their progression through the course. Both you and the student can see what content they reviewed, which can help you with keeping track of engagement and them with developing competency as a self-directed learner.

By default, Progress Tracking is turned on in all the unit courses. You can check it on the right-hand Details & Actions menu.

Students will be able to mark items as complete and see a progress bar for learning modules. Each resource and activity such as Documents, Discussions and Links will count as one item on the progress bar.

You can see analytics for Progress Tracking by clicking on the three dots More Options icon next to an item and choosing Student Progress.

From there, you can also see an overview of each student’s progress with all the content in the course by clicking on a student’s name.

The same ‘Progress’ view can be accessed via the Gradebook by clicking on the Gradebook tab on the top menu, choosing a student and going to the Progress tab.
