[School-of-data] Tools for measuring impact

Fri Oct 11 13:24:21 UTC 2013

Hey Lucy, something we are looking at doing at P2PU is tracking engagement
in the services we use--for our Music MOOC we'll be looking at posts,
shares, likes, listens and downloads on SoundCloud.

We're also looking at measuring impact by people using the tools we
make--so folks forking Mechanical MOOC, contributors to our open source
projects, etc.

In your signup forms, you might also ask how people heard about your
learning experiences--good way to figure out what's working and what isn't
:)

Hope this helps, Vanessa
