How to Extract Valuable Insights from Moodle Logs

This session will explain and demonstrate how some nifty use of Google Sheets (and Excel) can quickly and easily extract more information and insight than is provided by the standard Moodle reports.  I will present the insights I have gained from analysing student behaviour on three large modules (one each at L4, L5 and L6). I will explain the tools and the workflow so that colleagues can analyse their own modules.  This presentation will be of interest to anyone who has laboured long and hard to create learning resources and wants to know whether students are using them!

Session Aims
