[Using Sakai] Site stats for Lessons Tool and LTI tools

[Adam Marshall]

So there’s two issues here.

1/ info from sakai regarding which LTI tools have been invoked, and when and by whom.

2/ Passing back data about what individual users have done in the LTI tool.

I’m not sure I would really expect to see #2 reported in Sakai, however, and correct me if I’m wrong, but the external tool wont always know the name of its users will it so perhaps we would like this.

Hi, Adam,
If the tools are part of Sakai, you can get data on the usage of the tool--e.g., lesson_builder vs. melete 'lessons' tools.

Our hosting partner provides us a table to query events, users, etc and I can query using Tableau: (here you see some counts of faculty uses of melete, lesson_builder, etc.)

For LTI tools you can't get the usage data of the tool since that is with the tool vendor, but you can query events to find the basiclti launch event, then you add the REF field to see which tool is being referenced by the basiclti launch.  Below is an example of how to find course sites that are using Piazza:  (just figured out how to do this, by the way)

Hopefully we can get vendors to provide usage data back to us.  The Internet 2  Common Solutions Group is planning to approach Piazza, by the way, to provide usage data back to the partner institutions for the purpose of learning analytics.  Perhaps compliance with LTI 2.0 will provide for the return of usage data, not sure?

We've had a query from a user about whether it's possible to get Stats about individual instances of a tool, eg,

1/ if a site has 2 IMS LTI tools can one see a breakdown of launches of each individual tool

2/ if a site has 2 lessons tools, can one see a breakdown of each individual instance?
