I’m thinking about using Discourse in an educational setting and wonder what data is available about posts. The data will help me design analytics to understand student engagement and understanding.

Thanks. Those models spelled it out nicely. I see that there are user-defined fields, but they look like they extend the user profile. If I wanted to create custom post-level data (for analytics), how difficult would it be to do the calculations and them to another table in Discourse or another d…

You can customise Discourse to your hearts content with plugins, the main constraints being time :mantelpiece_clock: and money :moneybag: (though some things are harder than others of course) However, have you thought about coming at this from the other direction? What do you actually want? There…

It sounds like you are making trouble. Plugins can add post and topic custom fields.

Indeed. I use a lot of EdTech tools and it would be nice if they were written on top of existing, mainstream products. In this educational use case, schools need SSO and a way to pull class rosters to set up discussion groups. Discussions are underutilized in education because they lack analytics…

I have budgetary support. If the addon could be a viable EdTech tool, I’m happy to fund it myself.

I like Jay’s approach. Do it and ask for forgiveness later. Online community is hard to do well. Many thankless hours of tending, begging, cultivating and growing one person at a time. People don’t like to write well. Social media has taught us to write poorly and sometimes even lie. It’s a bad sta…

[صورة] John_Faig: Discussions are underutilized in education because they lack analytics teachers need to easily monitor and advance discussions. They are also underutilized because most teachers haven’t used it enough to become proficient. Completely agree to this statement. I am also tryi…

You mean like Community Network Visualisation ?

Yes. I have a 6600+ user community, and as I understand from the post, this might cause performance issues while running the query. I can’t use trust level filter as of now as all my learners will be in tl0 now (and possibly few in tl1 by end of this academic term). Any suggestions on optimizing f…
