Question about google analytics
I have a question about Rise courses and google analytics please.
We create courses in Rise and then export a web package that gets uploaded to our website. We don't use an LMS.
We noticed that ...
Can anyone who has successfully manually added the GA code to the exported index.html file provide a brief description of where it should go? I have a consultant who can manage the backend of the server. He'll upload my files to our website, so he might be able to add the code. I just want to make sure I can give the right instructions.
Hi Denise
If I understand rightly, our developer adds a Google Analytics tag within the 'head' of the index file (in the exported files extracted from the zip folder). We put it in just before the closing </head> at the end.
This does give us some analytics but so far I've found most of it is pretty meaningless...
Hi Vic,
Thanks! I'm curious though why you find it meaningless for your project. Is it because it doesn't track/report on lessons/sections? I can understand that. Though I have now tried it (for a publication developed in RISE). I found it at least provides a number for users, page views (and who scrolled) . I'd prefer a way to have this code auto embedded during export, and to trigger stats for each lesson/section ideally. But from my perspective not having any data on who went to look at it is a no-go.
