ShareStream Debuts Video and Audio Analytics Dashboard
ShareStream, an online video and
media management solution for education, has introduced a series of analytics
dashboards and reporting application programming interfaces (APIs) designed to
help higher education institutions monitor and analyze video and audio usage
data. The company made the announcement at the Educause 2015 conference
taking place from October 27-30 in Indianapolis, IN.
The dashboards can display analytics data for any level, from an entire
university system down to an individual course or student, according to
information from the company. Instructors can use the dashboard to monitor
student engagement in course media content; librarians can generate usage
reports to help them make content-acquisition decisions; IT staff can monitor
which devices and operating systems people are using to access media; and
campus communications staff can gauge the effectiveness of media delivered to
prospective students, alumni or the general public.
Key features of ShareStream's analytics dashboards include:
- Data visualizations such as time-series graphs, bar graphs and pie
charts;
- Ability for authorized users to customize and interact with data
visualizations;
- REST APIs that let third-party learning analytics platforms query and
retrieve data generated from the ShareStream platform in real time; and
- Data tables that support sorting, filtering or exporting.
The new analytics functionality is available to all ShareStream Video
Platform licenses at no additional cost. The company is demonstrating the
analytics dashboard at Educause booths 2216/2218 and again at a webinar on Thursday, November 12.
