Navigating the world of EdTech can be overwhelming, but focusing on the right metrics is your secret weapon to success. ???

Whether you’re scaling up or fine-tuning your strategy, here’s a comprehensive guide to the 20 crucial metrics you should track, complete with formulas and pitfalls to avoid. ????

1. User Acquisition Cost (UAC)??

Formula: UAC = Total Marketing Costs / Number of New Users?

Example: If you spend $10,000 on marketing and acquire 500 new users, UAC = $20.?

Pitfall: High UAC might indicate inefficiencies in your marketing channels—optimize your strategies to reduce costs.

2. Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) ??

Formula: CLV = Average Purchase Value × Purchase Frequency × Customer Lifespan

Example: If users spend $50 per course, buy 2 courses per year, and stay with you for 3 years, CLV = $300.?

Pitfall: Low CLV suggests a need to enhance user experience or offer more value.

3. Monthly Active Users (MAU) ???

Formula: Count of unique users who log in at least once per month?

Example: If 2,000 unique users logged in this month, MAU = 2,000.?

Pitfall: A stagnant MAU could signal that users aren’t finding enough value.

4. Daily Active Users (DAU) ???

Formula: Count of unique users who log in daily?

Example: If 800 unique users logged in today, DAU = 800.?

Pitfall: A drop in DAU may indicate user dissatisfaction or content issues.

5. Retention Rate ???

Formula: Retention Rate = (Number of Users at End of Period / Number of Users at Start of Period) × 100

Example: If you started with 1,000 users and 800 remain, Retention Rate = 80%.

Pitfall: A declining rate means you might need to improve your product or customer service.

6. Churn Rate ???

Formula: Churn Rate = (Number of Lost Customers / Number of Customers at Start of Period) × 100?

Example: If 100 out of 1,000 users left, Churn Rate = 10%.?

Pitfall: High churn rates could signal issues with user engagement or satisfaction.

7. Engagement Rate ??

Formula: Engagement Rate = (Total Engagements / Total Followers or Users) × 100

Example: If you had 500 likes and comments on posts from 5,000 users, Engagement Rate = 10%.

Pitfall: Low engagement may indicate a need for more relevant or interactive content.

8. Course Completion Rate ???

Formula: Completion Rate = (Number of Completed Courses / Number of Enrolled Courses) × 100?

Example: If 300 out of 500 enrolled students completed their courses, Completion Rate = 60%.?

Pitfall: A low completion rate suggests issues with course quality or user motivation.

9. Student Progress Metrics ???

Formula: Track milestones reached by students through courses (e.g., percentage of course completed)?

Example: If students have completed 40% of their course material on average, progress = 40%.?

Pitfall: Poor progress tracking could lead to a lack of timely interventions for struggling students.

10. Net Promoter Score (NPS) ???

Formula: NPS = Percentage of Promoters - Percentage of Detractors?

Example: If 60% are promoters and 10% are detractors, NPS = 50.?

Pitfall: A low NPS means you may need to address user feedback and improve your offerings.

11. Conversion Rate ??

Formula: Conversion Rate = (Number of Conversions / Total Visitors) × 100?

Example: If 200 users signed up from 1,000 visitors, Conversion Rate = 20%.?

Pitfall: Low conversion rates might indicate issues with your sales funnel or messaging.

12. Content Usage Statistics ?? ?

Formula: Track frequency of access for each piece of content?

Example: If a particular course is accessed 1,000 times, it’s the most popular.?

Pitfall: Ignoring content statistics can lead to missed opportunities to enhance popular content or address less engaging content.

13. Revenue per User ???

Formula: Revenue per User = Total Revenue / Total Number of Users

Example: If total revenue is $50,000 from 1,000 users, Revenue per User = $50.

Pitfall: Low revenue per user may require revisiting pricing or upselling strategies.

14. Cost per Acquisition (CPA) ??

Formula: CPA = Total Cost of Acquisition / Number of New Users Acquired?

Example: If $5,000 is spent to acquire 500 new users, CPA = $10.?

Pitfall: High CPA can impact profitability—optimize your acquisition strategies to reduce costs.

15. User Satisfaction Score ??

Formula: Measure through surveys or feedback forms

Example: If users rate their satisfaction at 4.5 out of 5, the satisfaction score is 90%.?

Pitfall: Low scores might indicate that changes are needed to improve the user experience.

16. Learning Outcomes ???

Formula: Assess through user assessments and feedback

Example: If 80% of students pass their assessments, learning outcomes are strong.?

Pitfall: Poor learning outcomes may require reevaluating course content and teaching methods.

17. Support Ticket Volume????

Formula: Track the number of support tickets or requests

Example: If you receive 150 support tickets in a month, track the common issues.?

Pitfall: High ticket volume could indicate recurring problems—resolve common issues to improve user experience.

18. Average Session Duration ???

Formula: Average Session Duration = Total Time Spent by Users / Number of Sessions?

Example: If users spend a total of 10,000 minutes on your platform over 500 sessions, Average Session Duration = 20 minutes.?

Pitfall: Short durations might mean users aren’t finding value or engaging content.

19. Feature Adoption Rate ???

Formula: Feature Adoption Rate = (Number of Users Using New Feature / Total Users) × 100?

Example: If 300 out of 1,000 users adopt a new feature, Adoption Rate = 30%.?

Pitfall: Low adoption rates may require better user education or improvements in the feature.

20. Revenue Growth Rate ???

Formula: Revenue Growth Rate = (Current Period Revenue - Previous Period Revenue) / Previous Period Revenue × 100?

Example: If revenue grew from $40,000 to $50,000, Growth Rate = 25%.

Pitfall: Slow growth could indicate the need for enhanced marketing strategies or product development.
