Course Overview Widget

Intended Audience: Collaborative Instructors
This article pertains to courses taught by a local teacher as part of a collaborative partnership.

Introduction: 

The purpose of the Course Overview Widget is to provide easier access to analytics about learners and courses. The widget appears on your Brightspace homepage and will display high-level aggregate information about the course and links to course-specific Brightspace Insights reports. 

For example, the widget can display a visualization of weekly course access (the Course Access report as a bar chart) and how many learners submitted quizzes today.

In addition, the widget includes links to the Class Engagement tool, and Course Access and Tool Access reports.

Details:
