6.1. Email Opt-in Report#
The data package includes a report of data collected across all of an institution’s edx.org or edge.edx.org courses. This report is typically more useful to administrative or marketing teams, rather than research teams.
When learners enroll in a course on edx.org, they can specify whether they want to receive email from the organization that presents the course.
The email-opt-in/{org}-email_opt_in-{site}-analytics.csv
file reports the
email preference selected by each learner enrolled in your institution’s
courses. You can use this information to develop a distribution list for
campaigns that introduce new or related courses to learners.
Note
Your data package includes a .csv
file only for the edx.org
site. Learners can specify an email preference only on edx.org.
The file contains data in these columns.
