Hi,
I am developing a number of animated 10 minute video training films to present to our City Employees and I am looking for a way to utilize DNN to host the training site. Initially there will be 9 to 10 Ten minute videos covering a range of cyber security topics. What I would like to do is have users log in and track what videos they watched and if they finished watching each one. It is  probably fairly simple but I simply cannot get a foot on the ground on how to do it.

Any suggestions?

I am hoping to turn this into a citywide training asset for all of our employees to reduce helpdesk calls and user frustrations.

Thanks

This is an interesting problem and one I may have to implement soon for a similar project.
Like you perhaps I have little or no budget and would like a simple solution.
The DNN event viewer logs do not supply this information.

I think my solution would be to use a Data springs form instance for each video as I already have this.
I would make a menu page and then have each clip page not shown in the DNN main menu.
I would label and link the submit button as "Return To Menu" as the only way off the page.
I would set up a "completion event" to email me each time a clip is viewed / page exit via the "submit button" and collect user info from hidden fields.
The form saves all "submissions" in easy assimilated form such as .xls

I would also add another completion event email (to me) set to fire on a hidden field set to "Any response" so I can at least see when people go to the page even if they do not click the Return To menu button.
A further Completion Event email can be sent to the users thanking them and perhaps supplying other "Help desk info".

Data Springs Dynamic forms cost around $220 but it is worth every cent.  Very extensible although the most recent versions interface looks like a Friday afternoon intern task".

I am sure there are other methods such as html5 video event listeners etc but the above will work and you will get you data which at least supply's indicators of use even if a few edge cases are missed.

I will be doing this in a week or so - I would be happy to send you my form instance template if this helps.
