This report is essentially the same as the Content Engagement report but pre-filtered to only show the forum activities in your course.

Advanced Filtering Options:

1. The default Forum Engagement report shows Discussions created, Posts created, and Discussions viewed. You can filter amongst these 3 types of events in the Actions dropdown.
2. If you’d like to view unique events (rather than total), select this checkbox. This option counts each student only once, irrespective of how many times they may have accessed a forum post or reply. This feature can be used to identify how many total students have accessed a particular forum.
3. In addition to the standard bars, selecting an option other than “None” on the average filter will plot a second set of results alongside the first showing average event counts for different sub-groups of your students. It is possible to view average event counts for the top 15% of students in your class, the average across all students, or the average across the bottom 15% of students in your class - based on their scores in the course total column of your gradebook. If you do not use the gradebook in eClass or use a different column as the final grade, these results will not be accurate.
   
   

   Additional Information:

4. The y-axis for the graph is measured in the total number of occurrences of a particular action/event that is counted while processing the eClass event log.
5. The x-axis for the graph contains entries for each item selected in the activity filter. If no items are selected, a sensible default (visible in the sample) is shown to the user. As a user, you may select individual forums or entire sections (aggregate all forums in that section).
6. By default, Discussions created, Posts created, and Discussions viewed are shown for each selected forum.  Discussions are top-level posts, while posts include replies. Click the help bubbles while viewing the report to see a few examples of each.
7. Clicking this button will export the results to an excel spreadsheet.
8. Clicking this button will save a screenshot (in PNG) of the graph to your computer.

Mousing over a bar on the graph will display a tooltip indicating the exact number that is being displayed.
