Catalog Summary Percentage Calculation

The Catalog Summary percentage calculation helps understand learner engagement by comparing the time learners spend on a course with the total course duration.

Average Time Spent Calculation

When General is selected under Catalog Summary, the following values are used:

• Duration – The total course duration provided by the course provider.
• Average Time Spent – The average percentage of the course duration spent by learners.

Formula

Average Time Spent (%) = (Total Time Spent by Learners / Total Course Duration × Number of Learners) × 100

Example

Consider the following:

• Learner 1 spent 2 hours on a course with a total duration of 5 hours.
• Learner 2 spent 3 hours on the same course with a total duration of 5 hours.

Step 1: Calculate the average time spent

Average Time Spent = (2 + 3) / 2 = 2.5 hours

Step 2: Calculate the percentage

Average Time Spent (%) = (2.5 / 5) × 100 = 50%

Therefore, learners spend an average of 50% of the total course duration.
