Tracking in Xerte

Tracking in an existing Xerte module

This way you can track:

• how many times you Xerte module is opened
• how long students spent on the different pages
• the results of Xerte modules

This is how:

1. Click on the module you would like to track in Xerte:
   
2. Click on the ‘project properties’ / ‘eigenschappen leerobject’ button at the top:
   
   • Make sure that the access (1) of the module is not private but published for example to make the access ‘public’ (2).
   • Don’t forget to click ‘change access’ (3).
     
3. Click on ‘LTI/xAPI’ (1).
   • Enable xApi & use globally configured xAPI LRS (2).
   • Don’t forget to click update (3).
     
4. Use the tracking link for the students.
   After enabling the xAPI, the link of the module which is tracked is shown at the bottom of the page.
   The link is also shown in the project details as shown in step 7.
   
5. Add tracking to the pages
   To track the separate pages of the Xerte module, you have to add tracking to these pages by editing the module:
   
   After that, add the tracking option in the optional properties to all the pages you want tracked:
   
   After adding the tracking option, you are able to fill in the following boxes:
   
   Fill in the tracking label with the name of the page and if necessary the tracking grouping (read in the i what it means to group the tracking).
6. Evaluate the tracked module in the dashboard.
   After adding the tracking option to all the pages you want tracked, you can see the results of the tracking (2) from the project details and the link of the tracked Xerte module (1).
   If you click on the graph, the dashboard becomes visible:
   
   Here you can click on multiple things to see the results of the tracking.
   

Now you can track your modules.
