All,
This information has been most helpful and gives me great hope that we can implement something within the next year. I feel like we’re not the only ones out there looking to do this (I felt like there had to be others, I just didn’t know where to look).
Greg, thanks for explaining how you all started out and where you are in the process. You mentioned that I could see some samples of reports or code. We share an instance (of Sakai 10.2) with other institutions to leverage cost-sharing, but I’m confident our host could do something like what you’ve been able to do. We also have limited resources, but depending upon how much our Vice Provost wants to address this, we may be able to come up with something.
Pat, it does seem like Greg has something nice going. I can see directly how the data provided back to an LMS faculty guidance council and individual schools can further inform the kinds of faculty development and continued tool development within Sakai – that’s a great use case. I’m not familiar with Tableau so I’ll have to look into that. We use Jenzabar EX here, but I’m sure we could replicate your process of manually linking the data for reports. I’m not familiar with the Sakai queries and the tables in Sakai. I’m not planning on attending the Apereo Conference, though you may have just given me enough of a reason to come and meet up and gain some ground on this question. Thanks!
Ben, I’ll look into the OpenDashboard you mentioned. Our host is Longsight, but I would guess that the OpenDashboard would be portable.
Again thank you all who shared what you know and are doing to address this question.

Hi all,
A mild aside about generalised infrastructure. At the LAK15 conference there was an interesting which was looking towards seeing if we can user student activity to measure Learn design objectives. I expect that this type of sophisticated reporting will start to emerge in the coming years and probably best served by a standards based open and generic framework. (Rienties. B,. Toetenel. L,. Bryan. A,. 2015: “Scaling up” learning design: impact of learning design activities on LMS behavior and performance).

Alan

Hi, Luisa,
We are hoping to implement the Open Analytics at our campus, but my impression is that it is more oriented toward predictive analytics about student performance -- which is excellent! However for operational type reporting -- such as which faculty are using which tools in which course sites, seems a simpler reporting environment is more appropriate.
Again, hope we have some good discussion about easy to use tools for operational type reporting as well as the more predictive analytics frameworks.
Pat

All,
Sorry if this isn’t the right context for this.
We’re presently looking to gather some data on the level and kind of involvement our faculty have in their online courses, and are familiar with the Statistics tool in Sakai to gather just this type of information.
However, we’re also looking at being able to provide a more responsive engagement with faculty – if for example they’re not remaining engaged or active in their online courses (as our contract spells out). One way to check for this is to use the Statistics tool in every course an instructor is teaching in in the current term, and then relay that information to that faculty member’s respective dean or school.
Another way would be to have a service that simply looks into the current term’s courses for just this sort of data and notifies those deans accordingly if (say) the instructor hasn’t engaged with a particular course for more than 4 days.
Any thoughts are helpful.
