The Analytics tab described on this page requires an API integration with your institution's LMS / VLE. Currently, EchoVideo supports API integration with Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace D2L, and Moodle. If you are an instructor who uses an LMS / VLE with EchoVideo and do not see this tab, your administrator has not configured the necessary integration.

EchoVideo provides an Analytics option in the main menu for Instructors. The Analytics option opens a "consolidated analytics" interface. It lets you easily find viewing data for your EchoVideo and LMS / VLE course media in a single, consolidated location.

Consolidated Analytics was designed for a maximum of 1 year of data from the date of request.
EchoVideo consolidated analytics page with Analytics selection in main menu identified and LMS course tiles shown on the page containing information as described

Each tile on the Analytics page corresponds with an LMS / VLE course in which you are an instructor. The newest term courses are shown first.

The information on each tile includes:

Name of the LMS / VLE course
LMS course identifier
Number of linked sections IF the LMS course is linked to an EchoVideo section.
- Hovering / mousing over this number will display all linked sections and their term.

The LMS course tiles previously displayed the total linked media in a banner at the bottom. It was supposed to include any EchoVideo media embedded in the LMS Course and any media in the EchoVideo section (if one was linked). This data was not always correct and has been removed while we attempt to resolve the issue.

Clicking View Analytics on a tile opens a new page with tabs for the course media's media views, polling response data, and grade book. These tabs are described in more detail below.

If your institution has previously provided the EchoVideo media analytics tool in your LMS and you have already been using it, you are already familiar with these tabs and the data they provide.

Media Analytics - Views Tab

The Views tab appears when first opening the consolidated analytics page. The data included here, particularly the bar graph, will look familiar if you have looked at the analytics tab for the media details page to see media viewing data.

The Views Tab only contains data from playable media (Audio, Video, or Interactive Media). It does not contain Presentation data.

Media Views Graph

The Top Section of the page contains a bar graph showing the Total View of All Media by date.

The Time Range shown on the page by default is 30 days, but you can use the dropdown in the top-right corner to select a different range, including 7 days, 60 days, 90 days, or 12 months. Additionally, if there is no view data within the past 30 days, the graph will automatically adjust the time range to find view data to display.

The dropdown list affects some of the page's data. Selecting different time frames changes the graph and the media list below it, but not the data included in the download.

Hovering over an entry on the graph shows all audio, video, or interactive media (no presentations) viewed on that day, including the name of the media and the view count.

Media Views List

The media list on the Views page consists of audio, video, or interactive media only (no presentations). To appear on the list, these media must have at least one view or have been downloaded during the selected time range. Media listed may or may not have a view time shown if, for example, a user played for only a second or two or downloaded the media without viewing it first. This includes media you may have embedded into the LMS course and all video / audio / interactive media in any EchoVideo section this LMS course is linked to.

By default, the media is listed in ascending order by creation date (oldest to newest).

Remember that the data shown for each media may change based on the Time Range selected if views or downloads were executed at times that fall within different ranges (i.e., past 7 days vs. 30 days). Media not viewed or downloaded during the selected time range does not appear on the list.

Click on any media link to open a page with more granular details for the selected item. For more information, see Detailed Media View Data later on this page.

The data shown for each media in the list includes the following:

Unique Viewers - The number of different users who have viewed this media within the selected time range.
Total Views - The total number of views executed by all users within the selected time range.
Total View Time - The total media viewing time by all users for this media in the selected time range.
Average View Time - The average media viewing time for this media during each view, calculated as total view time divided by total number of views.
Average % Viewed - The average percentage of the individual media viewed across all users (regardless of the total view count).
On-Demand Views - Number of times users viewed the processed video file (as opposed to a live stream).
Live View Count - Number of times users clicked "view live stream" during the live stream (if applicable).

Below the list, you will find paging buttons that allow you to page through the media list. Each page contains 25 media.

Detailed Media View Data

Each entry in the media list is an active link. Click on a media link to open a page with more detailed information about the selected media. The Detailed view provides all user viewing details for all users who have viewed or interacted with the media at any time. If your institution has enabled Full Roster Sync, it will display all users enrolled in the LMS course, even if they have not viewed or interacted with the media yet.

The data on the media view details page is not subject to the time range on the main page. That means you may click on a piece of media that shows 2 views in the main list but open a page showing many more. This is because the 2 views in the main list occurred during the selected time range, but more views / downloads occurred outside that time range.

Detailed viewing data for selected media listing all users who have viewed and/or downloaded the media with statistics shown as described

The top card includes the media's name, type, length, and the date it was added. From here, you can click Open Media to open the Media Details Page for the media. Expand the card to see the date the media was created, its unique Media ID, description, and tags (if any).

The middle cards provide the following data:

Top Viewers - The top three students with the most views of the media.
View Breakout - The percentage of Video on Demand (VOD) views versus the percentage of Live Views.
Average View Time - Average media viewing time for this user for this media. This is calculated by taking the total view time and dividing it by the total views.
If this media was originally broadcast as a live stream (except from legacy SCHD appliances), the time spent viewing the live stream is included. Legacy SCHD appliances do not provide time-viewed data for live streams.

A Note about Time: The "view time" references in the data do not consider the speed at which the media was viewed. If a user viewed 20 minutes of a 30-minute video at 2x speed while they spent 10 "real-time" minutes viewing the media, our View Time data shows they viewed 20 minutes of the video.
Total Downloads - The number of times this media has been downloaded for offline viewing (if downloads are possible).

The data provided for each user shown includes the following:

Total Views - Total number of views logged by the user.
Total View Time - Total media viewing time for this user for this media.
Average View Time - Average media viewing time for this user for this media. This is calculated by taking the total view time and dividing it by the total views.
If this media was originally broadcast as a live stream (except from legacy SCHD appliances), the time spent viewing the live stream is included. Legacy SCHD appliances do not provide time-viewed data for live streams.

A Note about Time: The "view time" references in the data do not consider the speed at which the media was viewed. If a user viewed 20 minutes of a 30-minute video at 2x speed while they spent 10 "real-time" minutes viewing the media, our View Time data shows they viewed 20 minutes of the video.
% Viewed - The percentage viewed for this user for this media (regardless of the total view count).
VOD (Video On Demand) Views - Number of times this user viewed the processed video file (as opposed to a live stream).
Live Views - Number of times this user clicked view live stream during the live stream (if applicable, and not for live streams from SCHD appliances).
Downloads - Number of times this user downloaded this media for offline viewing (if downloads are possible).
Last Viewed - The date this user last viewed this media. This is in UTC or Universal Time Code and not the user's local time.

Media Analytics - Polls Tab

The Polls tab is available immediately below the Views tab on the left side of the page. It contains student polling response information for all poll questions in any presentations or interactive media associated with this LMS / VLE course. This page will look familiar if you have viewed the Polling tab for an EchoVideo course section to review student responses to polling questions.

The polling response data on this page includes all EchoVideo section media (both presentations and interactive media) if the LMS / VLE course is linked to an EchoVideo section, as well as any interactive media embedded directly into the LMS / VLE course.

Overview

The data provided for each card shown includes the following:

Submissions - The Total Response Rate is a percentage of POSSIBLE responses to polls across all media. This calculates the number of students multiplied by the total number of polls in all media, then divided by the actual number of responses.
Responses - The Total Correct is the percentage of correct versus incorrect responses given to polls across the course. The calculation ONLY takes into account polls that have a correct response identified.

Polling

Below the Overview, the Polling card has two dropdown lists. The Media dropdown list allows you to select a particular presentation or interactive media for viewing polling responses. When you navigate to this tab, the first one in the list is automatically selected.

The Poll Question dropdown list allows you to select a question in the selected media to view student responses. The default is All.

Poll Questions and Student Responses

After selecting a piece of media, the lower part of the page changes to show overview information across all of the questions and students in the selected media. This works exactly like the Polling tab for EchoVideo course sections, with links to popups for more information about any given poll question and links to popups for more information on any given student's responses. If necessary, see Viewing Responses to Polls in EchoVideo Course Media for detailed instructions and information on each type of polling question.

Media Analytics - Gradebook Tab

The Gradebook tab is available immediately below the Polls tab on the left side of the page. Automated Gradebook Sync integrates and synchronizes instructor-configured data between EchoVideo and their Learning Management System (LMS). This process helps streamline instructors' administrative workload and ensures that student performance data is accurate and up-to-date.

Downloading Views and Polling Data

The Views and Polls tabs contain a Download Data button, as shown in the figures on this page. Like all downloads from EchoVideo, the downloaded file is a comma-separated value (CSV) file that can be opened as a flat file or in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers.

Views Data Download

The Views data download is not limited by time range. The downloaded file lists viewing details for each user who has viewed the media.

The downloaded file's filename includes the LMS / VLE course name and the data's date range, with start and end dates in UTC.

The data in the download is nearly identical to the download available from the media details page. However, views of media by a single user from different locations (embedded in the LMS / VLE and viewed within an EchoVideo section) are not broken out into separate rows. Otherwise, the data and fields provided are the same.

When downloading, you can choose to download all the media view data together in one file or a ZIP of individual metrics by selecting which pieces of media you would like.

Polls Data Download

The Polls data download is not limited by time range. The Polls page and the downloads from the page include all polling responses for all polling questions in all interactive media or presentations associated with this LMS / VLE course.

The filename of the downloaded file includes the LMS / VLE course name and the date and time the file was generated (when you clicked Download Data) in LOCAL time.

The data in the download is nearly identical to the download available from the polling tab for an EchoVideo course, except that instead of Lesson Name, the download lists the LMS course name for each entry. Media is delineated by ID and media name.
