Discussions: Viewing Statistics
Viewing discussion statistics provides the instructor with information to help him or her keep track of the class' discussion activities. These activities include the number of messages authored or read by a specific student.
Viewing Statistics by Users
Viewing statistics by users allows the instructor to view each student's activity in discussions. This is helpful if discussion participation is required and students are being graded on their activity. Desire2Learn provides a statistics graph showing how many messages a student has read and how many he/she has posted.
