Spike: Review and report on event_types in use in your organizations data pipeline
Closed this issue · 5 comments
In order to create a backlog of critical Open edX tracking event to map to xAPI events, we should analyze the use of event_types in the real world.
We'd like several organizations to review and report back on which event_types they are currently using to produce analytics used by people or processes in their instances.
We are using:
- all video events (load, play, pause, seek, etc.)
- all forum events (reply, thread created, read, etc.)
- edx.ui.lms.link_clicked to track file downloads
- login events
- all events en general, to track user activity
FYI a full list of event types is here: edX Research Guide > Alphabetical Event List
In eduNEXT we use the events used by Insights.
We're expecting a dump of the events edx.org is current collecting / seeing shortly, but it's still helpful to know what other folks are using with their configurations. As a heads up, the list @pomegranited referenced has barely been updated in the last 5+ years and I'm in the process of reviewing it for accuracy. As there are 200+ events in there, and probably many that aren't included there yet, so knowing what folks are actually seeing in their logs will be helpful to verify the current state. :)
I'm calling this done as we haven't had any recent responses, but did get a large dump of edx.org event data to work with. Thanks for the responses, all.
