Blog Events
Blackboard Learn’s Caliper Analytics stream emits a BlogEvent whenever a student submits a blog entry in an original experience course. Here is some of the key data that is associated with these events:
BlogEvent
object.id - the primary key for the Blog
action - Created, Modified, Commented
extensions - contains a tag called bb:user.externalId with the batch_uid for the user
