Interesting research from outside CSU

Blackboard has recently published in-progress research findings on how students use the Blackboard Learning Management Systems (LMS). The findings from this research include:

  • a small positive relationship between time in the Blackboard LMS and final grade;
  • after the median, additional content accesses are related to a decline in grade for high-performing students.
