Why add Google Analytics to your Articulate Rise course?

In today’s fast-paced learning environment, tracking your learners’ progress is essential for improving course design and delivery. Google Analytics offers valuable insights, such as:

• Page Views: Understand how learners navigate through the course
• Duration: Track the time learners spend on a page or pages
• Device Metrics: See if learners are using mobile, desktop, or tablet devices

By leveraging these insights, you can innovate your approach to learning, ensuring your course evolves in response to your learners’ needs.

Step-by-Step Guide: Add Google Analytics to Articulate Rise

Let’s walk through the process of innovating your learning strategy by embedding Google Analytics to Articulate Rise using Mighty.

Step 1: Sign into Mighty

Step 2: Obtain your Google Analytics tracking code

Create a new property in Google Analytics for your course and copy the provided Global Site Tag (tracking code). This is what allows Google Analytics to monitor your learners’ interactions.

---

const script = document.createElement(‘script’);

script.src = ‘PUT YOUR GOOGLE ANALYTICS URL HERE’
script.setAttribute(‘async’, ”);

const head = document.querySelector(‘head’);
if (head) {
head.appendChild(script);
startAnalytics();
}

function startAnalytics() {
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag() { dataLayer.push(arguments); }
gtag(‘js’, new Date());
gtag(‘config’, ‘PUT YOUR GA CODE HERE’);
}

---

Step 3: Add Custom Code to Mighty

Head over to the course editor in Articulate Rise and select “Add Block.” With Mighty, you can add a Custom Code block to place your Google Analytics tracking code.

Step 4: Embed your Google Analytics code

Paste the tracking code into the Custom Code. Remember to replace ‘PUT YOUR GA CODE HERE’ with your unique Google Analytics ID. Mighty’s seamless integration makes this process quick and intuitive, ensuring you can innovate your courses with minimal effort.

Step 5: Testing and monitoring with Google Analytics for Articulate Rise

After embedding the code, test the integration by interacting with your course and monitoring the Real-Time section of Google Analytics to ensure learner activity is being tracked. This step allows you to confirm that your setup is working as expected, providing you with valuable insights into user behavior.

Final Step: Adjusting for tracking in nested iFrames

If your course content is presented within a nested iFrame, Google Analytics might not immediately capture user activity. Mighty supports iFrames, but some adjustments to the Google Analytics script may be necessary. Make sure to implement cross-domain tracking if needed, which will allow Google Analytics to track learner interactions across multiple domains or within iFrames accurately.
