This Powers a Summary Dashboard for key trends and performances –

• How many students are active?
• How are they using the books?
• Are achieving the target usage levels

that you have set?

• How many books have been

downloaded onto mobile apps?

• When throughout the academic year

is usage happening? Invaluable feedback to the course leaders / administrators –
