Google Analytics and University of Southampton Blackboard service

Google Analytics (GA) is turned on within a number of MLE sites including Blackboard and Panopto. In the interest of openness we will share a number of pieces of analytical data with the community. Note that some data is from a smaller sample size and may not reflect 100% of users.

For Blackboard these stats are:

  1. Unique Visitors / Page Views
  2. Users per hour of day heat map
  3. Engagement
  4. Browsers
  5. Computer, Mobile, or Tablet?
  6. Operating System
  7. Location (Country)
  8. Top 10 Screen Resolutions
  9. Average Page Load Time

 

This data does not include those users who block Google Analytics. If you wish to stop your web usage from being tracked by Google Analytics and other web bugs and trackers install Privacy Badger. If you are interested in making your browser as secure and untrackable as possible take a look at this guide.

This report is based on 31.11% of sessions.
Note that with this report we will no longer be reporting from which cities our customers are using Blackboard.
