How to view author Insights

Insights helps authors to review and improve course content.

Author insights can show you how your courses are performing and help you to create and maintain great content for your learners.

Authors can see insights at two places:

  • Course insights - Summary percentages of Views and Likes/Dislikes from learners across all class activations of the course.

  • Page insights - The same data above for the specific page and other information such as when the page was created.

How to view Course insights

To view Course insights, either:

  • Select Insights in the banner at the top of the page or,

  • Head to Contents and choose Show contents with insights on the right.

Screenshot of the Contents page with Insights selected in the horizontal menu.


​Course insights shows you the percentage of Views and Likes/Dislikes from learners across all class activations of the course.

In the screenshot above we can see that 84% of learners have viewed the first page, and 3% have liked it.

Tip: Look for pages where the percentage of learners viewing a page starts to drop off (such as toward the end of a course) or where there are a large percentage of thumbs down for example. Then you can investigate further to see where the blocks are for your learners.

How to view Page insights

You can all see insights just for a particular page when you're on it.

Just select Page insights in the course banner when you're on a page.

Page insights shows you:

  • The course name.

  • The page name.

  • When the page was created.

  • When it was last published.

  • How many learners have engaged with the course (this is not how many people have seen the page).

  • % of these learners who have viewed the page.

  • % of these learners who have commented on the page discussion (if there is a page discussion on the page).

  • % of those learners who have liked or not liked the page.

  • How many activations this page is currently live in.

Insights data and republishing or duplicating a course

Re-publishing a course updates the content and any existing Insights data remains.

Duplicating a course creates an entirely separate copy of the content so any Insights data is not carried over.
