Query

Write SQL against your own Brightspace data

Every dataset you sync becomes a table you can query. Rowseta downloads and processes the extracts for you, so there are no files to stitch together.

  • Browse each synced dataset and its columns in the Datasets list
  • Start from system reports and templates for enrollment, course activity, grades and engagement
  • Leave the judgment calls to the people who know the course. Turn any cutoff in your SQL into an input they can set, and one report fits every course.
  • Download the full results of any report as a CSV file.

Share

Share reports that respect every role

Publish once, then choose who can open the report and set limits on the rows and columns each share shows. People you give broader report permissions can see beyond those limits.

  • Share with a role or with named people
  • Limit a share to the courses someone is enrolled in, or to their own records
  • Hide columns and personal information for a share

In the course

Put the numbers where teaching happens

Insight widgets turn published reports into a small card on the Brightspace course homepage. You choose what each metric measures from one of your published reports. Instructors adjust the inputs and flag thresholds you open to them, for their own course.

  • Set a threshold and the card shows Flagged or On target
  • Track what matters for teaching, like students below a grade line or late and missing submissions
  • Control what students see: when you allow it, each student sees only their own numbers.
  • Open the report rows behind supported metrics, with CSV download
  • Placed with LTI 1.3. Each card shows the date of the data behind it

Questions

Questions about Brightspace reporting

What are Brightspace Data Sets?

Brightspace Data Sets are data extracts from the Brightspace LMS about users, enrollments, course access, grades and content. Rowseta downloads and processes the ones you choose.

Do I need to know SQL?

Not to start. System reports and templates cover enrollment, activity, grades and engagement. To answer your own questions and get the most from Rowseta, you will want SQL, or someone on your team who knows it.

How current is the data?

Reports and widgets show the date of the Brightspace data behind them. Rowseta syncs automatically with a subscription. In Evaluation, the first sync starts automatically and you start later syncs yourself.

Can students see insight widgets?

Only if you turn it on for a widget. Students then see metrics from their own records, without the instructor details view.

Is Rowseta part of Brightspace?

No. Rowseta is a separate product from BentoBits Inc. It works with the data your Brightspace instance already makes available.

Where is our data stored?

New Organizations store their data in the Global data region. See Security for details.
