Course Statistics: Track and Optimize Your Course Performance

Last updated March 30, 2026

Answer

The Course Statistics page gives you a clear picture of how your courses are performing. You can see enrollment numbers, completion rates, revenue, and how far students get through each lesson. All of this helps you make smarter decisions about your content.

How to Access Course Statistics

  1. Go to your dashboard and open the Courses section in the navigation.
  2. Click on Statistics (or Course Stats) in the menu.
  3. The overview loads automatically with data across all your courses.

Filtering Your Data

At the top right of the page you will find two filters:

  • Course selector: Choose a specific course or keep it set to "All Courses" for a combined overview.
  • Time period: Filter by the last 7 days, 30 days, or view all time data. This helps you spot trends and see the impact of recent changes.

What the Numbers Tell You

The statistics page shows several key metrics:

  • Total enrollments: How many students have signed up.
  • Active learners: Students who have been active in the past 7 days.
  • Completion rate: The percentage of enrolled students who finished the course.
  • Average progress: The average percentage students have worked through.
  • Revenue: Total income generated from paid enrollments.

Lesson Drop-off Overview

One of the most useful parts is the lesson drop-off chart. It shows how many students make it through each lesson in a course. When you see a sharp drop at a certain lesson, that is a signal worth acting on. That lesson might be too long, too complex, or unclear.

To view this:

  1. Select a specific course from the filter at the top.
  2. Scroll down to the lesson breakdown table.
  3. Look for lessons where the percentage drops significantly compared to the previous one.

Per-Course Overview

The table at the bottom lists all your courses side by side with their enrollment count, completion rate, and revenue. This makes it easy to compare courses at a glance and prioritize which ones to improve first.

Tips

  • A completion rate below 30% often means the course is too long or not structured clearly enough. Consider splitting long lessons into shorter ones.
  • If enrollments are high but completion is low, try adding progress reminders or breaking the course into smaller modules.
  • Check the 7-day filter regularly to stay on top of recent engagement trends.
  • Compare revenue per course to see which topics resonate most with your audience, and use that to plan future content.
