New Analytics Information for Admins

[olguin]

I just noticed that New Analytics can be enabled in the course nav. I don't know when this happened, but I missed it so I searched for some more information. I don't find a really comprehensive guide except how instructors will use it. 

I have some questions that I am hoping someone can answer:

• the 4 possible placements for this LTI
  • What is the tool configuration one?
  • It seems if I disable Course Nav, it removes it from the rt side menu on Home - is this accurate? I would prefer NOT to have it in the course nav and leave it on the rt side
• I have tried to look at the configuration about the online attendance, but it appears that I have to wait 24 hours
  • How does this work vs the Roll Call Attendance LTI? 
  • Would you choose one over the other?

Thanks for any help with this! I do sometimes struggle with finding the information I need when it is outside the scope of the guides for each role- student, teacher, admin. The guides are great, but when I can't find it there, it's hard for me to find. Also, there seems to be a constant change in the interface- menus, etc. I did take time to look for these answers on my own 🙂

Thanks again!

Debbie, what did you end up using? We have been using Roll Call Attendance Tool, and I'm wondering if using New Analytics for attendance will be better for us, but I'm finding little documentation comparing the two. My search led me to your post from several months ago, and it's unfortunate that no one answered.

Hi,

I never found any information comparing the two either. So, both are available to our faculty at this time. I haven't had any questions from faculty, but I wanted to be prepared to share why they would want to use one or the other.
