Know what is landing with deeper analytics

It's easy to build an analytics dashboard full of numbers that look impressive and tell you nothing useful. Total views, total signups, a line going up and to the right. We wanted the opposite: fewer numbers, but ones that point you at something you can actually go and fix.

Start with the course, not the account

Open a course's Analytics tab and the first thing you see is a Courses Overview and a Learners Overview, alongside a feed of recent activity — who signed up, who finished a lesson, who answered a question, roughly in the order it happened. It's less a dashboard you glance at once a week and more a feed you can skim in the time it takes to drink your coffee.

Learner progress, lesson by lesson

The Learner Progress panel breaks a course down lesson by lesson and shows how far each learner has actually got, not just whether they signed up. If most of your learners are stalling at the same lesson, that's a far more useful signal than a completion percentage on its own. It tells you exactly where to look first.

Question Health and Question Answers

Every graded question feeds into a Question Health panel showing the correct rate at a glance, and a separate Question Answers view where you can read individual responses, including the free-form ones that don't have a right answer to grade. If ninety percent of learners are getting the same question wrong, the fix usually isn't a harder question. It's a lesson that needs to explain that point more clearly before you ask about it.

The numbers people actually ask us about

Beyond course-level detail, the Space-level Analytics tab tracks signups, invites, and audience activity together, so you can see the full path someone took to become a learner instead of just the moment they landed on a course page. It's the difference between "we got twelve signups this week" and knowing whether those signups came from an invite, a public link, or an audience you built on purpose.

Improve the lesson, not the vanity metric

None of this is about chasing a number upward for its own sake. It's about being able to say, with some confidence, "lesson four is where people get stuck, and here's the question everyone gets wrong," and then going and fixing exactly that. Pair it with AI-assisted drafting when you sit down to rewrite a section, and the loop from noticing a problem to shipping a fix gets a lot shorter.
