Collective Intelligence and Tracking
What is tracking
Tracking stats - page viewing , use, reuse.
Be open and aggregate data set
Need to share data each institute is holding
Are there API for accessing any of this data?
Does Open Learn have on?
Google Analystics
Moodle Stats and VBIS (tracks throughput of students from OpenLearn to signing up)
Ratings block, Review questionaire - anonymous and publically viewable - on each course - produces stats.
Forums for actually student comments and stories
Creative Commons aggregate data about where license used
Is it accessible?
