How to Use Analytics to Drive Impact
What are SchoolSpace Analytics?
SchoolSpace provides built-in tools that give schools visibility into how students and staff are interacting in a specific world. These insights help identify trends in participation, community engagement, and identify popular activities.
Analytics show how students are using a world - like how long they stay, what they click, and how often they visit. These insights help school staff support student engagement, plan better events, and show impact to school leaders.
Use Analytics to Drive Impact
SchoolSpace analytics can help you turn data into meaningful action. Here’s how schools are using these insights to support students and improve programming:
- Identify Disengaged Students for Proactive Outreach
Quickly see which students are logging in regularly and which ones aren’t. Track individual activity to understand who may need additional support, whether academically or socially. - Optimize Scheduling of Virtual Activities and Events
Use peak activity data to schedule events, clubs, or lessons when students are most likely to join and participate. - Evaluate Programs like SEL, Peer Tutoring, and Interest-based Clubs
See which events, experiences, or spaces have the highest participation, so you can double down on what’s working and adjust what’s not. - Demonstrate Platform Impact to School Leadership or Board Members
Export reports that highlight student engagement, social interaction, and overall platform use - making it easy to show how SchoolSpace is supporting your goals. - Tailor Supports by Grade Level or Cohort
Use usage trends to see how different student groups engage with the platform. Adjust programming and support to better meet their needs.
Who has Access to Analytics?
Analytics to a specific world are available to Managers and World Owners. If you are a school staff member who needs visibility into engagement or participation data but do not have Manager permissions, please contact your school's SchoolSpace administrator to request access or an exported report.
How to Access Analytics
Analytics are available inside the SchoolSpace Dashboard for World Owners and Managers.
To Access Analytics:
- Enter a world where you are a Manager or World Owner
- Click World Settings
on the left sidebar. - Select Analytics
- The SchoolSpace Dashboard will open in a new tab and display the Analytics page from the world you entered in step 1.
- While in Dashboard, you can also view Analytics for other worlds. Click
Worlds on the blue sidebar to view the list of worlds where you are a Manager or World Owner. - Scroll or use
Filter Results to search for the world. - In the Actions column, click View Analytics
to open the Analytics Summary tab for that world.
What You Can Track
SchoolSpace analytics offers insights into three core areas: Overall World Analytics, Asset Interactions, and User Activity.
Overall World Analytics
Available on the Summary tab, overall world analytics charts can be modified by a custom date and time range and exported.
 |
| Available Analytics | Description |
| Online Now | The total number of users in your world right now. |
| Sessions | The number of times an avatar dropped into your world. If a student in your world leaves and comes back later that would count as two sessions. |
| Average Session Length | The average time spent per session in the world. |
| Unique Users | The number of unique individuals who joined your world. |
| Asset Interactions | The number of interactions with an asset. Interactions could be an asset click, a video played, a zone entered, etc. |
To Export Overall World Analytics:
- For Sessions or Average Session Length, click View Table. For Unique Users, click View All. Follow the instructions below to export Asset Interactions analytics.
- Adjust the date and time range
as needed. - Click Export
in the upper left of the page to download a .csv file of the specified range.
Asset Interactions
For each interactive asset in your world (any asset that is configured with a link, media, zone, etc.), you can obtain counts grouped by the type of interaction. These analytics are found in the Asset Interactions tab. From here you can also see metrics of individual assets by clicking the View Table option.
The interactive assets you will see here are:
- Media Assets: Any video or audio that has been added under the Media section to an asset.
- Zone Assets: Any broadcast, private, or mute zone that has been added to an asset.
- Asset Links: Any link added to an asset under the link section to make it clickable.
