= We want to make this page a great analytics starting point for the whole Op= en edX community! You can help by adding links to relevant content like pas= t talks, slides, documents, videos. The guiding question is, "Would the inf= ormation I want to post be helpful to someone who wants to learn more about= analytics for Open edX?"
= - Analytics Working Group organizers
This page serves as a starting point for understanding the analytics eco= system for Open edX.
Analytics could be defined by a process in which data is interpreted in = a way, so to discover patterns useful to predict further trends of the data= . A better definition can be found on Wikipedia as "<= span data-colorid=3D"xjru2jcfcm">discovery, interpretation, and communicati= on of meaningful patterns in data;= and the process of applying those patterns towards effective decision-maki= ng". So analytics embeds a wide range of processes, tools and objecti= ves relying on the context they are thought to be used for.
In the context of teaching and learnin= g, analytics are used to retrieve information and pattern from learners' pr= ogress for a range of different end users (teacher, staff, management...). = Retrieved information will then be used to either correct detected issues i= n the course, the set of courses or understand and support students who are= failing. In our context we are al= so interested in "Analysis" of the data (see "Analysis vs Analytics: past vs. Future"), so we wi= ll blur both definition under the "Analytics" terms umbrella, although some= tools and processes are more in tune with the definition of the Analysis p= rocess.
The Analytics Working group had its start at the 2019 Open edX Conferenc= e Dev Summit in San Diego. The group is currently being formed. Two organiz= ers have volunteered to lead the group, Laurent David and John Baldwin. A t= hird edX as yet unchosen person will be the third volunteer/organizer.
For analytics specific topics, you can visit the Open edX #analytic= s slack channel
Current Analytics Tools (from diverse = sources, some of it is https://github.com/edx/edx-tool= s/wiki), we listed here tools that are in an Open Source License (MIT, = AGPL or other)
