Dashboard Framework

Updated on

Dashboard Framework (SIT V3) provides institutions with customizable dashboards for students, instructors, and administrators featuring data visualizations. These dashboards can be developed for custom use cases beyond those already available in Blackboard. Examples include dashboards that highlight key markers such as progress, engagement, and completion—with the ability to present role-specific views and insights.

What you can build

Dashboards can include a broad range of visualization components.

  • Table

  • Chart

  • Single Stat

  • Card

  • Parameters with table

  • HTML

  • Button

  • Image

  • Progress bar

Example use cases

  • Instructor dashboards that spotlight course workload and action items (for example, items that need grading).

  • Student dashboards that show academic progress and completion status at a glance.

  • Administrative dashboards that provide program/term-level visibility into engagement and completion markers.

Implementation approach

Institutions work with Blackboard Professional Services to develop custom visualizations and dashboards, with deliverables defined by the scope of work. Once visualizations are created, teams can assemble new dashboards using those existing visualization building blocks.

Dashboard Framework provides a repeatable dashboard foundation that supports multiple audiences, highlights the metrics that matter, and allows ongoing dashboard creation through reusable visualizations—without starting from scratch each time.
