To get started today, please use your cell phone to answer the following question:
Small Group Discussion: What do you think you need to do in the first few days of class to ensure student success this semester?
When your group has come up with a master list of your best ideas, have your group recorder go to http://poll4.com, then enter 41473 and your group's response(s). Then watch the chart on the right, as the responses update live:

Blackboard has several tools to view student activity and the last time of login to your course. The tools are accessible under Evaluation in the Control Panel.
Like the Grade Center, the Performance Dashboard shows the last date of login, but also included is the time of the last login, along with several other statistics.
Tracking Reports provide information about student activity with respect to Accesses by Content Area, Accesses by Forum, Accesses by Group, and Overall Summary of Usage.
EVEN MORE RESOURCES . . . feel free to peruse this list of past workshops, including instructions on how to use the tools ("missing" sessions are those that were later replaced with significantly revised versions, or were for tools that no longer exist):
