In today’s world, making a sound decision without relevant data does not only look strange but is also widely becoming unacceptable. Data is helpful in understanding what’s working and what needs to be revised or removed altogether. When it comes to learning management systems, data has been equally useful, especially the data that comes in the form of learner insights.
The significance of data is understood by Edly, proof of which is the highly efficient learner insights section on Edly Panel as a part of Edly’s Learning Management System. Want to know how many learners you have and how are they doing in a certain course? Head over to Edly Panel now and get accurate insights!
Not sure where to start? This post is for you. Let us give you a step-by-step walkthrough of Edly Panel for learner analytics and insights.
