Goal Reports

Goal Reports differ from Test and Rubric Reports in two major ways. They only exist if:

  • Your Blackboard Learn environment has Goals loaded.
  • You aligned at least one of the following to a Goal in Blackboard: A Test Question, Rubric Row, Grade Center Column, or Discussion Forum.

If Goals exist in your Blackboard Learn environment, you will see them displayed on the EAC dashboard. Click the name of one or more Goals, hit the Go button, and a Goal Report opens.

Goal Dashboard

A Goal Report contains detailed information about the selected goals, and it consists of charts and data tables that you can navigate on-screen or download in a variety of file formats.

  1. Average student performance
  2. The percent of students that met or exceeded the Target
  3. The absolute number of students that met or exceeded the Target
  4. The absolute number of students that did not meet the Target
