I received a couple of questions around tracking. Then today, I saw a post on TrDev about tracking without an LMS and thought I should maybe clarify what I often see as the choices around tracking: a. Click tracking b. Custom tracking c. Based on an earlier post - Tools for On-Demand Information - An LMS? , LMS tracking Click Tracking In Click Tracking, you rely on looking at logs of what pages have been clicked on and get reports via log file analysis (web analytics) tools such as WebTrends .

Having the comment threads in Google Reader with everything else makes it much easier for me to keep track of. The original post often points to some of the posts via trackbacks, but if you want to track this kind of network discussion so that you can see what's being written by different people via blog posts and comments, there's really no way. Consider if you wanted to track the Five Things Meme as it worked it's way through the blogosphere. I received some great questions from Christy Tucker in reference to my recent post Types of Blog Discussions I have started using CoComment based on your mention of it a while back.

Here’s one way to track what happens to your client’s favorite content. How do you keep track of details? You lurch awake at 2 AM, thinking, “What if the client asks where I put sub-policy 12.5B? Did I cover it? Where?”

My experience has mostly been in higher ed, so I’ve always needed to do grading or more tracking than what this reader needs: 1) good server software for posting CBTs and then having basic tracking of student usage. 2) a means to track % completion of course topics on the course menu (I think Skill Soft uses empty-, half- and full- moons to show completion). A reader asked a question that I’m not really sure how to answer. I am the sole person involved with e-Learning in my branch, and I am mostly limited to using freeware.

Every wish you could easily track changes on a web site that does NOT have RSS? The option to track changes now exists via Google Reader. Thus, using the same tool where one tracks RSS feeds, you may now track web page changes. just copy the url of the page you wish to track, and then click "add a subscription". (read How often do you bookmark web sites which you like, but then rarely revisit? What if you could be automatically informed when new content appeared?

This week’s post starts with a simple question: At your organization, when you hold an instructor-led class, how do you give learners credit for attending the class in your LMS? I’ve seen organizations do this several ways, but I’ve never been a huge fan of how it gets done; it has always seemed like a workaround more than anything else. I’m going to list out a few of the ways I’ve

have a suspicion that in the long term it may be a more effective time/benefit approach than continuing the development of my PHP/MySQL application, what with ePortfolio space and tracking soon to appear over the horizon, or so I am reliably informe Well I have completed the update of course training notes for the new 1.5 version of Moodle and finally go round, cannot imagine why it took so long though, to creating a custom scale that we can use for our Edexcel course grading schemes.

Events surrounding the new Moodle-ebs initiative are moving apace, someone, don’t ask me who, has decided we should be referred to as Tracking Group, fine, with our first meeting less than a week after inception! I am looking for a two way workflow here, Moodle-ebs, ebs-Moodle, which I am not sure has been fully appreciated by everyone, but hey a solution like that will likely have a market maybe.

Quite often, making the project team, sponsors and stakeholders aware of the risks and consequences of missing deadlines will encourage them all to stay on track - they don’t want to delay the project any more than you do and they certainly won’t want to incur additional costs! ...Tags: One of the biggest challenges with any project is sticking to the original plan. There’s often so much to do, often within tight timescales, and no project runs exactly as planned.

So I would argue that the only thing that need be tracked is the assessment and let everything else go - effort would be better spent in designing learning resources that are useful and appropriate as job aids, reference works, neat little broadcasts to keep people up to date and support informal learning rather than hamstrung mandated learning that no-one enjoys. ...Tags: Something that I often struggle with when I'm dealing with clients is "what is it you want to record about this learning event?" All these companies have spent large sums of money on their expensive LMSs and are spending
