What course search analytics can I view in Atomic Search?

Report

The Report section lists (by default for the last 7 days):

  • Top 10 Phrases: Top phrases/words that were searched by students in a course during the specified time period

  • Number of Searches: Number of times the phrase/word was searched

This section provides the ability to filter based on a specific time frame or by All-time in the course.

Graph

The Graph section lists the number of searches with:

  • Time along the X-axis: each day of the last 100 days

  • Number of searches along the Y-axis: total searches performed every day

When a user hovers over the number for each day in the Graph section, the top 5 phrases/words searched on that day is displayed.

Export course search analytics

Admins can download a CSV export of all words/phrases searched for all time in the course. To export the CSV, click on the "Save search results" option in the three-dot menu.
