The Product and Engineering Teams from eduNEXT and Axim Collaborative are thrilled to introduce Aspects Reports for course delivery teams and site operators! Aspects Reports will be made available alongside the Redwood release via a tutor plugin.
What are Aspects Reports?
Aspects Reports provide near real-time course and instance data through dashboards and interactive charts.
With Aspects, course delivery teams have ready access to vital learner enrollment, engagement, and performance data for each of their courses as well as insight into course content performance all within the LMS.
In addition to providing data about all learners in a given course, Aspects Reports surface course activity data for individual learners and learners that may be at-risk of not completing the course based on a set of predefined risk factors. When installing the plugin, site operators are able to choose whether or not to display limited PII to course delivery teams. Enabling PII for your Open edX instance will give course authors and teams access to the names, usernames, and email addresses of the learners appearing in the individual and at-risk learner dashboards for identification or intervention.
Site operators will be able to view information about their Open edX instance through an operator dashboard in Superset, the data visualization tool used to create and display the existing Aspects dashboards and charts. Superset is accessible via a link from the Aspects Reports via the LMS. Site operators can even use Aspects to create custom dashboards and charts in Superset on top of those that are provided out of the box with the plugin.
Access Aspects Reports directly from the LMS
Course delivery teams and site operators can easily access Aspects Reports directly from the Open edX LMS via a new Reports link on the Instructor Dashboard, so that there’s no need to navigate elsewhere to gain valuable insight into exactly what’s going on in a given course.
On the Reports tab in the LMS, users can navigate between three new dashboards designed specifically for course authors and course teams looking to access quick and easy to glean engagement, enrollment, and performance data from one course at a time.
