Methods and systems for representing usage of an electronic learning system

A computer-implemented method for representing usage of an electronic learning system, the method comprising:

• receiving an input indicative of a selection of an interaction with a course content provided by the electronic learning system;
• receiving representation parameters that define a scope of the usage to be represented, the representation parameters including at least a period of interest;
• determining an event count for the interaction during the period of interest, the event count being a number of events stored at one or more storage components of the electronic learning system for the interaction with the course content;
• and
• generating a usage indicator that is reflective of a usage amount of the course content during the period of interest, the usage indicator being generated by adjusting the event count with at least one of a count parameter and a weight factor, the count parameter providing at least one limitation to a value of the event count and the weight factor indicating an amount of influence that the interaction has on the usage of the electronic learning system.
