Giving Users Access to Your Engagement Dashboards
As a Site Owner, you have the ability to assign roles to users, granting them access to the Course, Quiz, Student Performance, Survey, and SCORM Engagement Dashboards, as well as the Enrollments Dashboard within Thinkific Analytics. By designating individuals as Site Admins, Course Admins, or Group Analysts, you can provide them with tailored insights and empower them to make data-driven decisions.
Site Admins get comprehensive access to all Thinkific Analytics dashboards, enabling them to gain a holistic view of engagement across the entire platform. Group Analysts and Course Admins have restricted access to Engagement and Enrollment Dashboards, limiting their visibility to data specific to the Course or Group they are associated with.
This feature allows designated users to analyze engagement metrics, identify trends, and optimize their respective courses or groups to foster better student outcomes. By granting selective access to the Engagement Dashboards, you can distribute responsibilities, collaborate effectively, and enhance the overall learning experience for your students.
