Course content statistics considerations
- A student who visits multiple times on one date is only counted once.
- The statistics do not include anyone with course editing access i.e. instructors.
- Calculated time students spent viewing overall content or individual modules or topics does not include student session timeouts and students currently visiting content, modules, and topics as you view statistic details.
- Reset Statistics only resets the number of visits and the time spent in each content topic that is displayed on the Content Statistics page and in the Class Progress tool.
- Reset Statistics does not reset the content completion status of any content topic(s) for any student in the Content tool or in the Class Progress tool.
- Export Statistics allows you to generate a CSV file containing all of your statistics for viewing and analysis outside of Brightspace.
- The Available To value on the Content tab displays the number of students (from the class list) that the content is available to. A topic or module is available to a student if the following is true:
- Content topic or module is published/visible
- Current date is within the availability dates of the topic or module
- Content topic or module is published/visible
Note: The Available To value takes into account the following: release conditions, special access (assignments and quizzes), group access (assignments and discussions), availability dates, hidden/visible state, and if the module parent is "available."
