Analytics in minutes – are students watching course videos?

<10 min.

NOTE: Kaltura data can only reliably indicate that something happened (e.g., a student clicked the play button). It cannot prove that something didn’t happen (e.g. that a student didn’t watch a video).

  1. Navigate to https://kaltura.iu.edu and Log in.
  2. Click your name [a] then select My Media [b].
  3. Scroll down to the video you wish see, and click on the View analytics icon [c] next to the title.
  4. Click on the date range [d], and select a Preset or specify a date range. Click Apply when finished.
  5. Analyze your view data. Consider triangulating the view-data with anonymous student surveys to get a more accurate picture of student behavior.
