Kaltura Analytics can be used on CCLE to check if students are watching lecture videos or assigned media and for how long, how many times, and which parts of the videos are most watched. This data should be taken with a grain of salt; it does not necessarily directly reflect a student’s engagement. For example, a student might watch the first half of a lecture video and then resume the second half at another time, and this would register as two separate partial engagements. So beware of how limited these analytics are. Also, if students use an ad-blocker on their web browser, it may prevent analytics from being captured entirely.
Accessing Analytics
Log onto your course site in CCLE. Go to Admin Panel “Admin Panel“(orange button in the upper right corner of the screen), and under the “Additional”section, find and select Media gallery“Media Gallery“. You will be taken to a new page.

You may be confused when it shows that there is zero media, but this is a ruse; do not trust it. If the media gallery appears empty even though you have video media on your course site, do not worry. This is due to a setting that prevents course media from displaying in the media gallery. The analytics for course videos can still be accessed.
Click the menu icon at the top right corner.

You can see more details either by media or by user.

You can then click on the title of the entries to view analytics specific to that piece of media. Remember that you are only viewing analytics for the time period specified at the top of the window. To see details by user, select the “Engagement” tab.
