• Educational success in hours per year on a website

    Date: 2009.11.03 | Category: analytics, google

    One way to look at the success of an educational site is to look at the amount of time in a year spent by users on that site. Below is exactly that.

    Total hours since Nov 2,2008:

    School Email = 7,806 hours
    School Safe Search = 1,894 hours
    Primary Games Arena = 1,154 hours
    Primary Technology = 771 hours
    Primary Blogger = 770 hours
    Primary School Teaching (Opened May 2009) = 408 hours
    School Closures (Opened Sep 2009) = 84 hours
    McLear(My Blog) = 63.7 hours

    Thanks to google analytics we can get this information.

    I have being able to use this information to explain the real time importance of the sites to their teams. For example if I say to a coder the website has 400 visits a day it doesn’t sound as impressive as if I say..

    “The website gives 10 hours of educational help every single day…”

    Primary School Teaching has served 2+ hours worth of resources every day, for a website purely built by a community of educators I think our hats go off to teachers for being part of a sharing, web2 community.
    Of course if your website is purely designed then a user will struggle to get to the resource they need, we know that isn’t the case here – our users tend to come, find one thing then continue to browse around the site looking for useful resources. Are teachers and learners naturally inquisitive?
