Competence vs completion
The measurement philosophy, exactly what Vidext captures today, and where you can see it.
This page explains what Vidext records while your people learn, what you can see of it today, and how to use it when you report on a course.
Most training reporting answers one question: did they finish it? Completion rates prove attendance, not understanding. Vidext aims at something else: competence, whether people can actually do what the training was meant to teach.
What Vidext captures today
Every module learners take records learning signals as they go. Vidext collects them itself, inside the product:
- Sessions: when a learner studied, for how long, and how much of that time was active versus idle.
- Scene-level progress: which scenes were entered, completed, or abandoned. A teaching scene counts as completed once 70% of its narration has played, a check once every question on it is answered, and an activity once the learner finishes it.
- Module completion: every scene completed, derived from moving through the content, not from clicking a button. It is recorded once and kept, even if the module is later withdrawn or moved.
- Course completion: every live module of the course completed. A module withdrawn from the course never counts, and a module that goes live later, when you publish the course again, has to be completed too.
- Check answers: every answer, whether it was correct, the attempt, and the time taken, captured as structured facts (which option, right or wrong), never as free text.
Each signal is tied to the exact version of the module the learner took, so measurements stay accurate when you update the content.
First-party data
Learning signals are Vidext product data in your workspace, not third-party web analytics. They exist to answer learning questions.
Where you see it today
Not everything captured has a screen yet. Today you can see:
- A course's learner progress: for each learner, modules completed, progress in each module, last activity, and certificate. Organization admins see every team's learners; a team's admins see their own teams. See Learner progress and certificates.
Scene drop-off and per-question results are captured but not shown on any screen today.
Where this is going
Activity and completion are the floor, not the ceiling. The direction is comprehension and applied competence: surfacing what people misunderstand rather than what they skipped, and connecting learning to the work it was meant to enable. Practice formats beyond checks, such as roleplay, are part of that direction and are not available today.
What to do with this as an L&D team
- Treat completion as table stakes: necessary, but never the headline you report alone.
- Use a course's learner progress to find who has stalled, and on which module.
