Analytics from Pressbooks
Only Pressbooks with H5P activities are able to send xAPI statements Learning Locker. We are able to capture a variety of data including user answers to questions and what time the user submitted them. Depending on how a Pressbooks module is designed with H5P activities, these data can be used to interpret a wide variety of situations.
Because analytics from Pressbooks is tied to interactions with embedded H5P activities, the following data is not collected:
Pressbooks is unable to send data about:
- How long students spend viewing in a reading
- What information students click on within the reading
- Did students click on every caption, or just the ones with questions?
- Did students click on or view the glossary items?
- Did students follow links to external sources?
- Time spent viewing embedded video or listening to embedded audio
The LTI plugin for Pressbooks processes "Completed" and "Answered" xAPI statements to send a grade to the Canvas gradebook.
