However, it does seem to involve a fair amount of drilling down to be a useful analytic - the /register/interest/confirmed page was averaging over 3 minutes of user attention, and I'm pretty sure it contains no interesting or useful content. On the day that Simon presented about SocialLearn to the OU online conference, people spent over 16 minutes on average on the 'confirmed interest' page (OK - the small sample size obviously distorted this figure).Rebecca Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267576527402238576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714397444905465374.post-5262600302643366602010-07-15T14:25:08.094+01:002010-07-15T14:25:08.094+01:00When you unpick a lot of formal HE qualifications,...When you unpick a lot of formal HE qualifications, you find the notion of "in partial fulfilment of..." cropping up. One of the partials is time spent engaged in the study of a topic, I suppose the idea being if you spend enough time immersed in a topic, some of it must rub off. This sort of maps onto things like CAT points too, eg where 1 point is approx 10 hrs of related study.<br /><br />So, one possible route, and one that was idled around in early social learn discussions, was to monitor time folk spent apparently consuming resources in the social learn envt on a particular topic.<br /><br />When I was running Google Analytics on T184 and TU120, I did wonder also about how we might use apparent time spent on pages as a signal about a particular page, where time on page might have contributory factors: difficulty, engagement with embedded activity, etcTony Hirsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192476380420213082noreply@blogger.com
