Why should you care about analytics and metrics

A lot of course administrators find it difficult to keep a close eye on their courses. They are not always sure how well their courses and students are doing. It's clear that course administrators need to be able to easily observe the performance of their courses in order to know whether they should make any changes, but it isn't easy for them without an analytics tool. By using the right tool, you can learn from your students and make decisions from their activities to improve your course's qualities.
