Hi Everyone,
Appsembler has been working on a project that we're planning to release to the whole community that provides lightweight analytics as a pluggable app (reusable Django app) in the LMS. This is intended to be used by folks who are running their own Open edX instances and want to have site-wide and cross-course reporting data without requiring installing their own instance of Insights/edx-analytics. We're working on an OEP PR so that we can get feedback from the community as we work to release it.
We're also working to make as few changes to edx-platform itself as we can to enable this app, which would be enabled/disabled through settings in the lms.env.json file.
Here is a link to the Opencraft ed Xchange discussion with the conversation and more detail on what we are building:
Would be great to get feedback on the discussion page above (to help consolidate feedback)
Thanks!
-John
