Summary:
In October 2016 Alexander Street began a conversation with the community of librarians about our plans to create an admin portal that offered much more than usage data. Our goal was to move beyond usage and even engagement measures, such as referring URLs and playlist creation, and begin to tackle the toughest questions around impact: Why did the viewer watch the video? How did the viewer value the content? Join us on April 6th as we present Alexander Street’s recently released admin portal, discuss the possibility of integrated assessment in video, and seek the community of librarians further input as we continuously refine and improve our impact measures, and the overall utility of our admin portal.
- Explore the future of impact metrics with integrated assessment in video
- Evaluate on screen viewer ratings of video as an impact measure
- Review on screen viewer selection of “reason for watching” as an impact measure
- Contribute to the development of forthcoming impact measure
