There is a quick way in Blackboard to check when students last accessed the system.

Click Grade Center in the Course Management section of the course menu.
Select Full Grade Center.
You will see a Last Access column, indicating the date when students last accessed the course. If the cell for a particular student is blank, he/she has never accessed. For more details on student performance and system access see information on the Retention Center or watch the brief video.
If you do not see a Last Access column, it may be hidden. Hover over Manage, and select Column Organization.
You will see that Last Access is grayed out and has the word hidden in parentheses.
Check the box next to Last Access.
Scroll to the bottom of the page, hover over Show/Hide, and select Show Selected Columns.
Click Submit.
You will now see the Last Access column. For more details on student performance and system access see information on the Retention Center or watch the brief video.
