The process of extracting attendance data from the Brightspace learning management system involves generating a report that compiles student attendance records. This data can then be downloaded in a format suitable for analysis or record-keeping. This action requires administrator or instructor permissions within the Brightspace platform.
Accessing attendance information outside the platform facilitates offline analysis, reporting, and archiving. This capability is valuable for institutions requiring detailed tracking of student engagement for accreditation purposes or for instructors who wish to monitor attendance patterns to identify at-risk students. Furthermore, it allows for integrating attendance data with other institutional databases for a more holistic view of student performance.
