Anonymized tracking allows you measure learning impact in Easygenerator without collecting personal learner data. It gives you the insights you need, helping you stay compliant and maintain visibility into course performance while respecting learner privacy.

When enabled, learner activity is tracked using an Anonymous ID instead of personal identifiers like name or email address. This allows you to analyze completion, engagement, and feedback while building trust and minimizing data collection.

How to enable anonymized tracking in Easygenerator

Follow these steps to turn on anonymized tracking for your course:

  1. Open your course.

  2. Click the three dots in the top-right corner of the editor and select Settings.

  3. Go to the Login and Results tab.

  4. Locate Results tracking and click Advanced settings.

  5. Enable Allow anonymized results.

Once enabled, learner activity for this course will be tracked using an anonymous ID instead of personal identifiers.

What does anonymized tracking track?

When anonymized tracking is enabled, Easygenerator anonymizes learner-identifying information so it is not exposed in results or reports.

Data type

Visible in results

Completion rates

Yes

Time spent

Yes

Assessment results

Yes

Satisfaction survey responses

Yes

Learner name

No

Learner email address

No

Certificates

No

The key takeaway is that you can still track what happened in the course, just not who the learner is.

Note: The data collected is consistently applied across:

  • Easygenerator’s built-in LRS

  • Custom LRS integrations

  • Satisfaction surveys

This means you can use anonymized tracking whether learners log in or not.

Relationship to previous tracking settings

Anonymized tracking replaces the previous “Allow learners to skip tracking and tracing” setting.

For existing courses that previously allowed learners to skip tracking:

  • The current behavior remains unchanged

  • Anonymized tracking is applied only after the course is updated

This ensures backward compatibility and avoids disrupting existing reporting.
