Brightspace Tip: You Can Monitor Student Access to Your Course Site
Which students have accessed your course in the first week? Go to the Course Resources pull down, and click on Classlist. You will see a column labeled “Last Access”. This shows the date of login for each student in your class. If a student has not yet accessed your course, consider sending them a “checking in” email by clicking on the Action Button next the the students name, then selecting “Send Email.”
