I think you are absolutely correct when you say that our situation is complicated by the range of users and different tasks. Another issue, especially at larger university's like Penn State, is that each unit, college, etc. has their own website with their own analytics. If the applications and other forms don't live on your own site this makes things more complex and forces units and colleges to work together. Sometimes that's difficult. Instead of having to force ourselves into the e-commerce models that come standard in our analytics tools, I wish the web analytics vendors would create industry-specific packages, but I guess that's down the road a little.

Thank you for your nice comment. I think you are absolutely correct when you say that our situation is complicated by the range of users and different tasks.

Another issue, especially at larger university’s like Penn State, is that each unit, college, etc. has their own website with their own analytics. If the applications and other forms don’t live on your own site this makes things more complex and forces units and colleges to work together. Sometimes that’s difficult.

Nice blog - there's definitely a need for more information on the use of analytics for university websites. While some of the metrics used in e-commerce can apply to higher education our situation is complicated by the range of users, and the different tasks they wish to accomplish, on a university's website. Keep up the good work! John. Lund University, Sweden. Hi!
