Monitoring individual student performance and identifying students at risk can be challenging for instructors.
The Retention Centre feature provides an easy way for instructors to identify which students are at risk. This feature is automatically included in your Blackboard menu and doesn’t require set-up. It is also accessible from the Evaluation section of a course’s Control Panel on the left menu. Using this feature, you can visually identify and flag at-risk students for monitoring. You can communicate with these students and implement immediate action for improvement. Instructors can make notes about students being monitored and keep track of correspondence with these students for future use.
