When you enable Analytics for your account, your exported courses will begin collecting and reporting learner data. However, you can modify the learner data settings for individual courses if you prefer them not to collect specific information. For example, you may want one course to report learner data but anonymize their personal information, or a test course to avoid reporting any analytics.
There are two available options:
- Capture Analytics for this Export which enables learner data for the current course to be collected and reported to Elucidat Analytics
- Capture Personally Identifiable Information (PII) which controls whether personal information (name and email address) is recorded for the current course. This option will be unavailable if recording PII is disabled for your account. For more information about how to enable or disable PII collection for your account, see Activating Analytics for your account.
These options can be set just before exporting your course, offering flexibility on when and for which courses you apply them.
These options are only available if Analytics has been turned on.
Before you begin
If this is your first time creating an Online Link release, we recommend reading Publishing your first Online Link course to understand how the basic process works before enabling additional configurations.
This article focuses solely on how to configure data capture for your course. For guidance on the other configuration options, see Additional configurations.
Modifying a Project's data settings
- Open your Project
- Select Export from the top toolbar.
- From the drop-down menu, choose the language(s) you’d like to include in the release.
- Choose your preferred release type: Release for LMS or Online Link
- Go to the Analytics section
- Toggle Capture Analytics for this Export? to enable or disable data capture.
- On: Learner results like score and status will be captured for this course
- Off: No learner data will be recorded or reported. If this option is chosen, it will also toggle Capture Personally Identifiable Information (PII)? off.
- Toggle Capture Personally Identifiable Information (PII)? to enable or disable collection of personal data.
- On: Learner names and email addresses will be captured and reported to Elucidat Analytics
- Off: Personal information will not be recorded and learners will remain anonymous in Elucidat Analytics
- Apply any additional preferred configuration options
- Click Create Release
The newly exported course will adhere to the preferences you've set.
Choosing No for Capture Personally Identifiable Information will not apply to the data recorded by your LMS's analytics. If you wish to make your learners anonymous in your LMS, you'll need to configure this in your LMS settings.
Additional configurations
There are additional configurations you can apply to your courses to change who can access them and the type of data they capture and report.
