Lecture Recordings - Analytics Overview (Original)
Echo360 ALP provides information and feedback regarding student engagement and course participation. Instructors can view analytics for all lecture recordings in a course which are broken down into several sections:
- Course analytics
- Student analytics
- Engagement scores
Accessing analytics
- Click on the course for which you want to view analytics.
- Select the ANALYTICS tab from the menu.
Course analytics
Select Classes from the menu on the Analytics page.
Note: The term "class" refers to an individual lecture recording (e.g. 8 September 2017, 4pm - 6pm).
- The graph shows student activity by lecture recording or presentation.
- Data categories available include:
- Confusion Flags: number of times students flag content as confusing.
- Q&A Events: number of questions and responses students post.
- Slide Deck Views: number of times students view a presentation or slide deck.
- Polling Responses: number of student polling responses.
- Note Events: number of words students write in the form of notes.
- Video Views: number of times students have viewed the video.
- Hover over a lecture recording or presentation to view all data categories for that content.
- You can also view the data categories for all lecture recordings and presentations in a table format below the graph.
Engagement score weightings
- Select Weighting from the menu on the Analytics page.
- By default, all of the engagement metrics are evenly weighted. You have the following customization options:
- Change the default settings by sliding the end of each metric's bar to the right or left to increase or decrease the importance of that metric.
- Select one of the Presets provided.
- Do both by selecting a Preset, then customize it by moving the slider to the right or left as appropriate.
Note: All metrics add up to 100%: The "weight" of each metric is a portion of 100% - meaning if you increase one metric, the rest of the metrics must decrease by a corresponding amount. This is reflected in the percentages shown for each metric to the right of the slider.
- Click APPLY to apply these settings to this course.
- Click RESET to return the metrics to their original (or last saved) settings.
Refer to the Using Weighting to make Engagement Equal to a Single Metric (Echo360) guide for further information.
