Content Usage Statistics

The LMS allows you to track how many times each student accesses specified content within a chosen date range. This can be used to see how often students are accessing a lecture, an assignment, or any other activity within the LMS.

Step 1) Turn on Tracking

In order to gather statistics of how many times a particular item within your course is accessed, you must first turn on the statistics tracking feature for that item:

• Turn Edit Mode “ON” in the upper right corner.
• Locate the item or file that you wish to track within your course content area.
• Click the option menu next to the item, and select Statistics Tracking (On/Off).

• Next to Statistics Tracking, select On.
• Press Submit to save your setting.

• The LMS will display a Success message indicating that Statistics Tracking has been enabled for that item.
• You will also see a notice below the item indicating statistics tracking is enabled.

Step 2) View Tracking Results

Once you’ve allowed a few days for data to gather, you can view your students activity related to that item.

• Click the option menu next to the item, and select View Statistics Report.
• Turn Edit Mode “ON” in the upper right corner.
• Locate the item or file that you wish to view statistics for within your course content area.

• Click the option menu next to Content Usage Statistics, select Run.

• Select the format in which you would like to view the Report (e.g., PDF, HTML, Excel, Word)
• Set the date range for which you’d like to gather data for.
• Select the students for which you’d like to gather data on (TIP: Use the Shift Key to select multiple students).
• Press Submit to run the report.

• The LMS will pop-up a new window with the report data. The report data will indicate how many times, on the specified days, each student viewed the tracked content.
• The background window will allow you to Download the Report, or run a new report.
