How to access analytics for a module

Accessing analytics data in EchoVideo provides valuable insights into student engagement with learning materials. An instructor can view key metrics such as video views, slide deck views, and poll responses, helping to understand how students are interacting with course content across the module and for each class.

The Analytics tab is in the class list page of your recordings in EchoVideo. The Scribe below shows how you can access and export your analytics data in EchoVideo via your Moodle course page, and enable features such as a analytics, which shows the peaks and troughs of engagement by highlighting the segments of a recording to have received the most views.

We recommend viewing the clicking the arrow on the bottom right of the Scribe to view in fullscreen.

Adding EchoVideo analytics in a Moodle course

The EchoVideo Analytics activity can be added directly to a Moodle course to provide a consolidated view of student engagement across all EchoVideo content associated with that module. Rather than viewing analytics for individual recordings one at a time, the tool brings together viewing and polling data for all linked EchoVideo media in a single interface.

The analytics include data from:

Media embedded directly within the Moodle course.
Recordings and media contained within any EchoVideo course section linked to the Moodle module.
interactive media and polling activities associated with the course.

This gives an overview which helps to quickly identify the resources students are engaging with most, monitor participation levels, and gain insights into viewing patterns across the entire module.

To add the EchoVideo Analytics plugin tool in Moodle, follow these steps:

Enable Edit mode
Hover between existing activities or, from the bottom of a section, click the Add content button
Click Activity or resource
Click the Activities tab to filter the activities from the resources
Select EchoVideo Analytics
Name your activity, for example, your module name, AT101 Analytics
Select Save and Display.

A media analytics section will be added to the Moodle page, where you can view your EchoVideo Library and Collections, together with the analytics for your views and polls for the module.
