Discussion analysis gives you an in-depth look at each student’s participation, critical thinking level, and sentence complexity for graded discussions. Let’s take a look.
From a discussion's Grades & Participation page, select a student’s name to view the student’s posts and the discussion analysis panel. The data in the Discussion Analysis panel refreshes nightly, and you'll only see data if the student has participated within the last four months. Additionally, only instructors and graders see the discussion analysis panel, and this panel only appears for graded discussions.
As you grade a discussion, you can review the number of substantive posts, sentence complexity, lexical variation, critical thinking level and word variation. For more information on each of these metrics and how we calculate them, select Help to refer to the information available on help.blackboard.com.
In addition to the calculated readability, the details include average word count, responses, and replies for each student compared to the class average. This information, along with any rubrics or criteria you set, can help you determine a grade.
