Hi,
I've been looking at user activity logs lately, and have a couple
questions regarding their interpretation. First, a snippet of the html
output (I've replaced the actual user with test_user, and the grade_symb
entries with dummy values).
=====================================
26 Question 19 2008-11-07 12:33:58 POST
grade_courseid = csm_8o17991b99c9c48bbcsml1
grade_domain = csm
grade_noincrement = 1
grade_symb = actual_resource.problem
grade_target = analyze
grade_username = test_user
no_update_last_known = 1
27 /adm/roles 2008-11-07 12:33:58 LOGIN
28 Question 19 2008-11-07 12:33:58 POST
CODE =
grade_courseid = csm_8o17991b99c9c48bbcsml1
grade_domain = csm
grade_symb = actual_resource.problem
grade_target = answer
grade_username = test_user
no_update_last_known = 1
29 /adm/roles 2008-11-07 12:33:57 LOGIN
30 /adm/roles 2008-11-07 12:33:56 LOGIN
31 /adm/roles 2008-11-07 12:33:56 LOGIN
32 Question 16 2008-11-07 12:33:55 POST
grade_courseid = csm_8o17991b99c9c48bbcsml1
grade_domain = csm
grade_noincrement = 1
grade_symb = actual_resource2.problem
grade_target = analyze
grade_username = test_user
no_update_last_known = 1
33 Question 16 2008-11-07 12:33:55 POST
CODE =
grade_courseid = csm_8o17991b99c9c48bbcsml1
grade_domain = csm
grade_symb = actual_resource2.problem
grade_target = answer
grade_username = test_user
no_update_last_known = 1
===============================================
1. What do the "POST" actions mean? Do they mean a grade was changed
on the resource "Question *" for the user listed in grade_username?
2. How is it that so many actions happen so quickly? My naive view of
this is that in a total time interval of 3 seconds, two grades were
changed and the login page was viewed 4 times, but the user never logged
out . . . That strikes me as being some pretty quick mouse work.
3. I also see a lot of "VIEW" actions of /adm/navmaps. I presume those
are loads of the navigation page. I don't suppose there's a way to
extract what folders were open for each of those views?
Thanks,
Todd
