Kaltura: Viewing Your Analytics through Kaltura's Engagement Dashboard

Instructions:

Kaltura has an analytics system available to users. In this video, you'll see an overview of what you can find out from your videos using the Analytics data that Kaltura provides within the Engagement Dashboard.

Note:

Kaltura Analytics give perspective, not definitive information. Kaltura analytics can be used to get a sense of what is being viewed but is not to be used to attain an accurate sense of your students' progress. If the analytics do not show a particular student viewing your video in a specific timeframe, that does not mean the student did not try to view it. You should not rely upon Kaltura analytics for attendance, viewing, etc. due to outside influences such as ad blockers which can interrupt Kaltura from collecting data about all users.  Additional examples of what to consider when using Kaltura Analytics: 

It is possible Kaltura could not collect information about someone's viewership. Reported examples include where specific browsers, browser plugins, or Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have blocked Kaltura Analytics from collecting data.

If you make a video in Kaltura MediaSpace unlisted, then paste a link to that video in the LMS (Learning Management System) or elsewhere, users who view the video through that link will appear in Kaltura Analytics as Unknown.

If you allow viewers to download your video, then when viewers watch videos they downloaded to their computer/device, data about their viewership will not be sent back to Kaltura Analytics.
