Discussion Analysis is an automated system that provides instructors with an overview of a students contributions to a discussion board based on several criteria.
It should not be used as a replacement for reading and reviewing student work, but it gives an overview and insight into both their individual performance, but also there performance relative to the class average.
Discussion Analysis is only available on graded discussion boards. It takes approximately 24 hours for the analysis to be completed on a student post.
