Baron ChandlerBaron Chandler(19 days ago) This is in progress and largely done, tho we have a few things to review. From email:
I have taken the first pass at the analytics. I think there are still some things missing, but I tried to capture these main events:
- when the main page is loaded
- when someone logs in
- the user id, which subsequently comes in with ALL of the events on this list
- when someone clicks a link on the nav bar
- when the activity (matching, flashcard) is started
- what source language, target language, and word list are used for the game
- a "lexeme event", which happens when a user tries to match a card/word
- whether it was a hit or miss, what language it was, what the word was, the english word was, and what they tried to match with
- how long they've been playing
- when the activity (matching, flashcard) is ended
- what source language, target language, and word list are used for the game, the score, and howl ong they played
- for flash cards, I also put in the number of attempts/tries before the correct choice was made
Note that the analytics are delayed right now because of a system problem at mixpanel. They're working on it. But it does mean I did all this work blind and I can't see the results of all of it, so somehow the data will just appear and we can either ooh and ahh or freak out together... In the meantime, it's committed and in. (Katie, if you wanna see what we are sending, you can run the games and show the javascript console and watch for MIXPANEL EVENT log messages (I've activated debug). There is an object with a twiddler (|>) that you can open and examine the properties and see the things being sent - distinct_id is the user, it includes browser and resolution and all sorts of other stuff, too.) Baron ChandlerBaron Chandler(Just added) Feedback from Ben re: analytics:
In previous days, timer start exactly = timer end, but today there seemed to be a lot more starts than ends. Maybe this is because the timer end event is only triggered if the user plays through the entire game?
There were no Lexeme played events last few days, even though there were tons of plays happening, so that raised the question if it’s firing properly in that one case.
I’m not sure how app launched and click nav link are triggered or how click nav link is different from user nav click.
Lastly, I think there are some other events like registration, login and right/wrong answers that can’t be tested yet since I guess they don’t exist. I do want to know what’s realistic to include in this first release vs. to add later.
Assigning this to Baron. It's in and we should start getting some kind of data to make sure it's working with the first week of the pilot.
