Hi Guys One of the benefits of using Rise is that we have been able to host training outside the LMS and embed links within products. This allows us to embed those links with software products and people are able to consume training easily. However tracking goes for a toss since Google Analytics only works at an index.html level for now. Is there a way we can see how much time is being spent on what topic in rise? Warm Regards Akshay

I read through the LinkedIn post above, and I agree that heat mapping is useful, it's very difficult to look at heat maps for every individual user. The whole concept of analytics is to see what's trending (and what's not) and look for the outliers. Those outliers will help determine how your page may or may not require changes. So, I've not included heat mapping in my courses. I have 50 courses and I need to be able to see trends between them and not look at the individual level. They are all published the same way. I am able to everything stated in that article, except for heat mapping - which I have an alternative. I am using a combination of GTM (Google Tag Manager) and GA (Google Analytics), for reporting. As for heat mapping, my alternative was to create a page scroll depth indicator trigger, as well as a page timer trigger. Then I combined these in a trigger group and created one event tag that relies on that trigger. While I can't see exact clicked areas of the screen... I am able to understand how far down the user has scrolled and combine that with the time on page. That tells me whether the user is skimming or reading. Additionally, by building out multiple event listeners, I can capture the following: Side Navigation Clicks Next Lesson Clicks Conclusion Page Event With these, I can review my events in GA and with secondary dimensions, understand where users are exiting, where users are slowing down. These can assist me in understanding whether my content needs to be adjusted. I can also create custom reports based on the individual product and see users moving from (example) Lesson 1 to Conclusion. If I see that specific metric strong, then I know the course is intuitive and easy to move through. My recommendation with heat maps is to use them when you see a trend of people exiting a page at a specific point, or too many click events for a specific page... then add heat mapping or screen video capturing to understand what a user is experiencing. Hope this helps. Jared

Hi Heather, my primary aim is to make the education as open as possible while allowing us to track user behavior. In this case, the rise package will be exported as web only with google analytics tracking enabled and hosted within the subdomain of a SaaS product. Hence, not too concerned about locking content. In fact, i would argue the opposite and say content is a commodity that should be open and drive people towards buying or experiencing the product. I will keep you guys posted on any breakthroughs we make on the detailed tracking effort. Meanwhile it would be a feature request for the articulate side to look at how to enable tracking by creating some kind of widget where we can enter the code in each section. Content is now a commodity and will be more open instead of being tied to an LMS. We would expect it to be easily tracked with Google Analytics by giving it as an OOTB feature.

This issue has been in discussion for two years. Any updates on adding modern web tracking to Rise? Ideally we would like to add technologies like Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, HotJar and etc.

Hi Akshay - I reached out to a few users who may be able to help.

I don't really use Google analytics but it seems like you can add a custom field to the page: Specifying fields at creation timeAn optional fields object may also be passed that allows you to set any of the analytics.js fields at creation time, so they will be stored on the tracker and apply to all hits that are sent. ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto', 'myTracker', { userId: '12345'}); And as with all calls to the ga() function, the fields object may also be used to specify all of the fields together: ga('create', { trackingId: 'UA-XXXXX-Y', cookieDomain: 'auto', name: 'myTracker', userId: '12345'}); See the create method reference for more comprehensive details. So, in theory, you could set the optional field to the page identifier from the URL. https://www.rabbitoreg.com/demo/atd2017/#/list/5jQrLIuFk_JP1xPDTVmvh5e5IV_evZJa?_k=udt1j0 Whatever the "k" equals to is a unique identifier for each page. You could grab that from the URL and create the tracking based on that. Not tested, just an idea.

Thanks for all the help! It worked :) It's not Google Analytics but it's (in my opinion) a better tool. It's called YandexMetrica which does all the same things as Google Analytics plus behavioural metrics. It's 100% free and is working great at the moment. I've documented how I set it up here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/articulate-rise-page-level-analytics-behavioural-metrics-bandli/ Hope it helps :)

Hi,

I would like to track users who interact with the SCORM content which I have created using Articulate rise.

Could you please help me with the analytics code and the place where I need to add it in the SCORM package.

Thanks

A vote from me for Articulate to prioritize this! Seems possible in Storyline, but would love to see this in Rise.

Yes, we need this feature as well... we need to be able to track external usage / quizzes without an LMS.

Hello,

Has anybody found a way to track clicks/visits on a Rise link? (not exported in an LMS)

I just reached out to the support group who sent me back here. Would love to know if this is possible without LMS publication in any way.

Thank you!

  I would like to bump this question as well. We are trying to get some simple analytics for the Rise 360 page no in an LMS.

    Hi Christina,
    
    If you are using a Rise course outside of a LMS, you should be able to setup your own Google Analytics tracking per course. You need a Gmail account and would need the URL for each Rise course to setup at analytics.google.com
    
    Note that Google Analytics may not track at the level you require, e.g. learner Quiz data, etc.

so has there been any updates to this feed since last post 2 years ago? Would love to see an easy video tutorial on how to incorporate Google Analytics into my web based Rise URL. Any/all help is much appreciated!

    Hi Hazel,
    
    Is there any update on this? I know it can be done via Storyline but as a new user this is not an easy process and researching has not really done anything for me, but make me have more questions than before. It would be nice to have built in analytics with the tool we are authoring in (Rise).
    
    Thanks!
