The usage statistics of a course room provide information on how intensively the available materials and activities are used, in compliance with data protection regulations. In all course rooms that are created automatically, these access statistics are activated by default. This includes all course rooms that are created from RWTHonline as well as all course rooms that are created via the course management system Antrago in RWTHmoodle for continuing education courses. In all other remaining course rooms, managers can manually activate the statistics in the course settings. They can then be viewed by all participants in the course rooms. Usage statistics can be deactivated in all course rooms at any time, if required.

In order for usage statistics to be displayed, managers must enable them in the course settings.

1. In the course room, click on the cogwheel icon in the top right-hand corner. This will take you to the course administration.
2. Click on "Edit settings".
3. In the "Learning Analytics" section, click on the checkbox next to "Enable Usage Statistics".
4. Click on "Save changes".

The new option "Usage statistics" will then appear on the left side in the navigation bar of the course room. The page to which this link leads can be viewed by all participants in the course room.
