Blackboard has tools that can help you identify at risk students so you can reach out to them in the same ways that you would reach out to students in a face-to-face course whom you think are at risk. The Performance Dashboard and Retention Centre can show you your students’ levels of interaction and, at a deeper level, you can set up Grade Centre Warnings and Retention Centre Notifications to show you at-risk students early on. •	23	24 Lockdown Browser & Monitor Q&A Lockdown Browser & Monitor Q&A September 24, 2020 10:00 am - 11:00 am Thursday, September 24 10:00 -11:00 Click here to join the session Do you have questions about setting up and administering online exams?
