A Snapshot of Moodle Usage

Our Learning Management System Moodle, is a key part of how we deliver online learning to students.
Google, through its analytics service, can provide us with an enormous amount of data on its usage, which allows us to identify patterns such as how many times users visit the site, what days and time of day are most popular, what the average length of each visit is and what type of device was used.

This data can help us make sure we are providing a service that fits the needs of its users. More importantly though, analytics can tell use about how successfully students are interacting with course content and whether they are progressing as expected or falling behind.

Here's a snapshot of a few statistics from 2015. Of interest is the 50% increase in mobile and tablet usage since last year. This increase is unlikely to slow in upcoming years and raises some interesting questions as to how we as educators, develop online communities and deliver online content to always connected, mobile learners.
