VSA: Analysis for School of Computer VLE Usage

This analysis is number of student logins in a one hour period where 0 is 00:00-01:00, 1 is 01:00-02:00, ... 23 is 23:00-00:00

  • x-asis is the logins for the week commencing on the date
  • y-asis is the times of logins per hour
  • z-asis is the number of logins
  • Blue represents the greater number of logins
  • Red represents the least number of logins

For the Comparison graphs:

  • Red is greater home use
  • Yellow is similar usage
  • Blue is greater campus use

School of Computing Undergraduates and University of Leeds (total usage)

The following graphs demonstrate the total number of Blackboard VLE sessions during each hour of the day. 'Campus' logins are totalled on the IP ranged associated with the University of Leeds (including wireless logins within campus). 'Home' logins are totalled from all other IP addresses and University of Leeds halls of residence IP addresses.

NB. In this comparison we are looking at the difference in usage between VLE sessions from home and using the facilities at the university. It is interesting to note that during the early afternoon there are more logins from campus with School of Computing students. One hypothesis is the provision of dedicated computing labs easily accessed from the lecture theatres and the School of Computing office located in the 'Long Room' (the communal area).
