What is ELAD?
The Enterprise Learning Analytics Dashboard (ELAD) is an analytics platform from Blindside Networks that gives educational administrators institution-wide visibility into virtual learning across all of their BigBlueButton classes. Where BigBlueButton’s built-in Learning Analytics Dashboard (LAD) supports individual educators within a single session, ELAD aggregates data across every session to give administrators a high-level view of how virtual classes are performing over time.Key capabilities
- Automatic updates — The dashboard refreshes after each class session, so administrators get an up-to-date overview of all virtual classes without manual data collection.
- Trend analysis — Graphs show student activity, instructional time, product usage, and engagement patterns over time, helping measure the ROI of virtual learning initiatives.
- Detailed filtering — Drill down by time period, course, role, and other variables, with export to CSV, XLS, or PDF.
- Risk and excellence identification — Outlier analysis surfaces students who may be at risk or those who are excelling.
- Feature usage insights — See how BigBlueButton’s pedagogical features are being used, revealing opportunities for educator training.
- LMS integration — Integrates directly with learning management systems such as Moodle, enabling unified reporting that combines synchronous and asynchronous activity data.
