A reminder came our way that this feature is essential, we have a student that is boldly cheating. Hannah Petty please move this feature (Student Analytics to display for students) and the ability for instructors to see student analytics needs to be moved into the Roadmap.

Just following up on this, when will students be able to see their own Analytics.?

Thank you so much for your feedback! We are excited to share that this feature is coming and is currently planned as a part of our Q2 release for this year.

I would go on to add that in addition to knowing their own analytics (% video watched, interaction with polls, Q and A) they should be able to see how many others have interacted with the content. It may be motivating for them to see that others have already watched 3 videos while they have only seen one. Or others have watched 100% while they are just at 25%. It is just like providing the distribution to see how your own scores stack up.

Echo needs to hire teachers/professors to help you set priorities!! Students need to know exactly why they are missing scores. Keep analytics simple - and VISIBLE to the students whether or not they ask for it!! Whether the instructor uses it to grade, students should know this information to monitor themselves. Allow scores to be pushed to the gradebook easily within learning management systems, whether students watch it via the course bar or embedded (interactive media).

Sean Monnar: We have need of the same. I have an instructor in our Wildlife Medical Clinic who keeps track of video views because that is how the veterinary student workers and the undergrad student volunteers will know the case history for a specific animal. She has warned all students of their viewing requirements and has had to threaten some with removal from the program after reviewing analytics data.

Currently, while all unopened videos display a grey icon, the icon for every video that has been opened by a student (not necessarily viewed) turns green after they leave its classroom.

This is not helpful for the student because they have a false sense of completion and don't know which videos they still need to complete.

We identified this issue with a student in the fall semester.

This spring, we discovered a different issue. We discovered and reported an issue where the Echo360 mobile apps were not always tracking video views correctly even when students were watching fully and not downloading the videos to their devices. Having a feature like this could have alerted the students much earlier that there was a problem with their analytics/engagement with the content.

In its simplest form, this could be as simple as a video icon where the GREEN color grows by the percentage of the video completed (e.g. every 12.5% of the video watched gains the viewer an additional green slice of the icon while the rest remains dark grey (see attached). Anything less than full green means you (the viewer) still have work to do.

In its most useful form, such a video view icon would also be accompanied by student engagement data. Maybe Echo360 could add a tab to the student view of a course section and call it "My Engagement" or "My Participation."

Some of my students were not getting credit for completing non-embedded poll questions, perhaps because they missed the submit button. We didn't learn this until we were 2.5 months into the semester and they were pretty upset about having to go back through 175 questions to get credit toward their final grades. They need an efficient way to confirm that their answers were counted for each class or collection with polling questions. I recognize that some of my students would rather look over my PowerPoint slides and read the text instead of watching my recorded lectures so I am not counting video views, but I do care that they attempted the questions about the content so that is the basis for my rubric.

Adding to this students would also like to be able to view personal analytics for polls they have answered without having to manually go into each presentation slide.
