Understanding Events in WUSD’s Digital Tool Usage Report
In our district, we use "Events" to track how often students and teachers interact with online tools. This helps us understand which platforms are accessed most frequently and how often they are used across our schools.
What Are Events?
What Are Events?
An Event is recorded each time a user interacts with a tool.
This includes actions like logging in, opening a page, clicking a link, or navigating within a site.
A higher number of events means a tool is accessed frequently, but it does not necessarily indicate how long a student spends engaged with it.

High Event Count: A tool is frequently visited and used for activities.
Low Event Count: A tool is used less often or may be supplementary to primary classroom resources.
Comparison Across Tools: You can compare different platforms to see what is used most by students and teachers.
