Track Learner Progress with Built-In Analytics

Creating a course is only half the job. The other half is understanding whether it's actually working. Are learners completing the content? Where do they drop off? How are they performing on assessments?

ScormStack's built-in analytics give you visibility into learner engagement without leaving your authoring environment. Track progress, identify problems, and improve your courses based on real data.

Why analytics matter

Without data, course development is guesswork. You might assume learners read every section, but analytics might reveal that 60% drop off at module three. You might think your assessment is appropriately challenging, but data might show an average score of 45%.

Analytics transform assumptions into insights:

• Completion rates show whether learners finish
• Progress tracking reveals where engagement drops
• Assessment scores indicate content effectiveness
• Time data shows how long learners actually spend

This information helps you iterate. Identify weak spots, restructure problem areas, and build better courses over time.

The analytics dashboard

ScormStack provides an analytics dashboard that aggregates learner data across your courses:

Key Metrics

• Total Sessions — How many times your course has been accessed
• Unique Learners — Individual people who have engaged with content
• Average Score — Mean assessment performance across all learners
• Average Progress — How far learners get through the course on average
• Completion Rate — Percentage of learners who finish

These top-line numbers give you instant insight into course performance.

Timeline Charts

Visual charts show engagement trends over time:

• Track sessions by day, week, or month
• Identify patterns (e.g., training surges after announcements)
• Spot declines that might indicate content issues or external factors

Learner Table

See individual learner progress:

• Name and email identification
• Current progress percentage
• Completion status
• Assessment scores
• Session history

This detail helps when you need to follow up with specific learners or verify compliance completion.

Interactions Table

Drill down to question-level data:

• Which questions learners answered
• Correct/incorrect responses
• Time spent per assessment
• Common incorrect answers

If a particular question trips up most learners, maybe the question is unclear—or the content didn't adequately prepare them.

What gets tracked

ScormStack analytics capture multiple dimensions of learner engagement:

Session-level data

• Session start and end times
• Total time spent
• Device and browser information

Progress tracking

• Slide-by-slide advancement
• Bookmark position (where learners left off)
• Completion status

Assessment data

• Question responses
• Score per assessment
• Pass/fail status
• Retry attempts

Aggregate statistics

• Average time per slide
• Drop-off points in the course
• Most-skipped content

Filtering and export

The analytics dashboard supports flexible analysis:

Date range filtering

Focus on specific time periods:

• Last 7 days
• Last 30 days
• Custom date ranges

Useful for analyzing training campaigns or comparing performance across cohorts.

Time grouping

Aggregate data by:

• Day — For detailed daily patterns
• Week — For broader trends
• Month — For long-term analysis

CSV export

Export your data for further analysis:

• Download learner lists
• Export assessment results
• Create custom reports in spreadsheet tools

This is particularly valuable for compliance documentation where you need to prove who completed training and when.

Beyond the LMS

Many organizations use SCORM packages with traditional LMSs that provide their own analytics. ScormStack analytics complement this with authoring-side insights:

• Pre-launch testing — Track pilot group engagement before full rollout
• Direct distribution — Share preview links and track engagement without an LMS
• Comparative analysis — Cross-reference ScormStack data with LMS reports

For teams that share courses via preview links rather than LMS uploads, ScormStack analytics become the primary source of learner data.

Coming soon: xAPI support

ScormStack is developing xAPI (Tin Can) export capabilities for organizations that need more granular tracking:

• Statement-level learning records
• Integration with Learning Record Stores (LRS)
• Cross-platform learner activity tracking
• Detailed interaction analytics

xAPI support will provide even richer data for enterprises with sophisticated learning analytics requirements.

Data-driven course improvement

The courses you build today aren't finished products—they're first iterations. Analytics show you what's working and what isn't, so you can:

• Restructure sections where learners drop off
• Revise questions that confuse rather than assess
• Add content where knowledge gaps appear
• Remove sections that learners skip

Every course gets better with data. ScormStack puts that data at your fingertips.

Know what your learners know

Building courses without analytics is flying blind. With ScormStack's built-in tracking, you always know how learners engage with your content—and you can prove it when compliance auditors come calling.
