Access learning technology analytics
Analytics are built into many learning technologies widely used at Monash University, which can provide insight into students’ engagement with learning resources including lecture recordings, recorded class material and attendance in Zoom classes.
Expand the accordions below to learn more about accessing analytics for the following technologies
Echo360
View
Echo360’s analytics page provides aggregated statistical information about student’s online engagement and participation for each recorded lecture in your unit.
Note: Only lectures that have occurred will appear in the analytics page. Scheduled future recordings will not have any recorded data. As recordings occur, data is recorded and added to the Analytics page. This data is updated daily, and it may take some time for new data to be reflected.
To access the analytics page, click on the analytics tab in the top right menu.
Class view
Select Classes from the left hand side menu.
You will see a colour coded "at a glance" breakdown of engagements, including notes, Q&A responses and slide views. Each lecture is represented by a bar in the graph. You can hover over each bar for more information.
This information is presented in grid-view at the bottom of the analytics page and contains some additional statistical information. You can sort data by clicking any column headers, click again to reverse the sort order. You can also export the data by clicking the Export button.
Live-stream views are represented by Attendance percentage. If a student 'enters the online classroom' during the live-stream, this is recorded as having attended the lecture and is not recorded as a ‘video view’. The attendance percentage shows the percentage of students in your unit that watched the live stream of the lecture.
Live-stream views are NOT recorded in 'Video views’. ‘Video view’ records the number of times students have clicked into the lecture recording AFTER the live stream has ended.
A live-viewer counter is currently on Echo’s feature development roadmap.
Student View
Select Students from the left hand side menu.
You will see student participation data for all students in the unit, rolled up across all lectures. You can view student engagement for individual lectures from the drop down list.
For more information about the metric definitions, see Metric definitions.
H5P
View
If you have H5P activities in Moodle you can use the data collected to see students progress, engagement and interactions. There are three methods for collecting data about student interaction with H5P activities in Moodle.
Collect data on opening the activity
All Moodle activities can collect data about whether a student has clicked, and presumably opened the activity. Regardless of the H5P activity you can see if a student has opened it. For H5P activities that don’t have a score, this may often be the only type of analytical data you can capture.
The Moodle Activity completion guide has more information about using this process for any Moodle activity.
Collect data on completing the activity
The progress of students completing H5P activities can be tracked and stored in the Moodle gradebook for some types of H5P activities. A gradebook record is automatically created for any H5P activity placed in a unit that has a score.
For some H5P activity types, a simple score is recorded, typically ‘1’ for complete and ‘0’ for incomplete. This can be combined with Moodle activity completion to record a student who has finished a H5P activity, regardless of a specific score.
Unlike Moodle native quizzes, H5P can’t require a specific grade (eg. 75%) to be completed as an activity completion setting.
Collect data on a specific score
For some types of H5P activities, a specific score can be recorded that reflects a student’s ability to complete the H5P task. The score recorded is related to the number of correct responses that the user can take.
For example, if you have five draggable objects that need to be correctly placed, the user can get a total score of five.
Some H5P activities allow this total score to be replaced with a simple ‘1’ for the task being completed. This may be useful if you just need to know ‘complete’ or ‘incomplete’ student progress, and can tie into the activity completion option above.
You can also remap the H5P score to a different scale for the Moodle gradebook in the Moodle settings. This section also allows you to assign a category for the score in the gradebook.
These features may be useful for several purposes:
You can put all formative tasks into a separate category eg. “formative” in the gradebook and weigh all of the tasks to be worth 0%. This means you can track student progress, but this won’t affect summative grades. More details about setting up and using the gradebook can be found in the gradebook guide.

Zoom
View
Zoom creates reports about participant attendance in Zoom sessions, which includes information about time and duration of access. Reports can be useful to take attendance as well as to identify the length of time students are logged into the online session. Reports can be accessed 15 mins after the Zoom meeting. You need to be the creator of the Zoom meeting to be able to see the report.
To access the Meeting participants report:
- Login to your Zoom account at https://monash.zoom.us
- Click on Reports in the left hand menu.
- Under the Usage Report tab, select Meeting and Webinar history.
- Specify a time frame with the From and To fields, then click Search.
Note: Zoom will only generate reports up to a range of 1 month. If you need to view reports across a longer period of time, you may need to adjust the specified timeframe and search multiple times.
- You will see a list of Zoom meetings you created that occurred within the specified timeframe.
- For the meeting that you would like to view the meeting participants, click on the number in the participants column.
- You will see the list of participants who attended your Zoom meeting, including their user email, their join time, leave time, total minutes spent in the meeting, if they joined as a guest, if the meeting was recorded and if participants were in the waiting room. Multiple logins may indicate technical difficulties for the user.
Note: If a participant joins the Zoom meeting without logging in to their Monash Zoom account, you will only see the name they chose when joining the meeting and not their email address. You can check Only Authenticated Users can join in the Zoom meeting settings via monash.zoom.us to force participants to sign in to access the Zoom session.
However, this is NOT recommended as it may make the Zoom meeting less accessible for students using different devices.
- Click Export to download a copy of the Meeting participants report to your computer.
