Blackboard Data - A Platform Approach to Data & Learning Analytics from Blackboard on Vimeo.

Blackboard Data is a platform for delivering data-driven insights from across the Blackboard SaaS Teaching and Learning portfolio of products and services. Blackboard Reporting, which is part of this platform and provided to you at no additional cost, includes a Developer Tier that enables SQL experts and analysts to answer key questions in the business of education through direct access to a comprehensive data model. Later, we’ll release a Reporting Tier that provides pre-built reporting on tool adoption. 

Our growing community of users are already using Blackboard Data for key insights like: 

• Understanding adoption of learning tools by department 
• Provide important census data to financial aid teams 
• Identifying upcoming high-volume online exams 

Your SQL expert can answer all these questions and more using the Developer Tier, with direct access to the data model, supported by a comprehensive and user-friendly data dictionary. Alternatively, you can directly connect industry-standard Business Intelligence software to the Developer Tier to build charts and dashboards. Setting up Blackboard Data usually takes us just a few days* and will provide access to all of the historical event data in your Learn SaaS instance.  

And Blackboard provides a set of free, pre-built queries you can paste-and-run if you’re lacking in SQL expertise or capacity, as well as a range of rapidly-deployed, themed data packages at a compelling price point to meet common educational goals.
