This report analyzes the data from the Social and Behavior Change (SBC) Learning Channel. The data includes information about the users’ enrollment and completion status in the courses offered by the channel. The report begins setting the parameters and explaining data processing. The analysis section is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the overall trends in enrollment over time, the second part provides an analysis of the enrollment and completion rates. The third part presents an analysis by course.

1. Data preparation

1.1 Setting parameters

Some parameters can be set by editing the .qmd file:

  1. start_date: The date from which the semesters will be computed. It is set to March 31, 2016 by default (set desired date in line 49).
  2. Selected courses: More relevant for analysis.
selected_courses <- c(
    "Accountability to Affected Populations",
    "Introduction to human-centered design",
    "Introduction to Behavioural Insights",
    "Social and Behaviour Change (SBC) Theory and Practice",
    "Communication for Immunization - 2022",
    "Social Norms Programming and Measurement",
    "UNICEF Community Engagement for Behaviour and Social Change in Core Commitments for Children (CCCs) in Humanitarian Action",
    "UNICEF Gender Equality Core Commitments for Children in Humanitarian Action Playlist with Interactive Game",
    "Exploring the Drivers of Behaviour: The Case of Child Marriage",
    "Social and Behaviour Change (SBC) Building Blocks",
    "SBC eLearning course for FLW ToT on nOPV2",
    "Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) Communication"
)
Parameter 1
Start date set to: 
[1] "2016-03-31"

Defining report periods

For this report, periods will be defined according to the date of enrollment.

Years:

  • We will use April 1 as the start of each year. That way we can easily spot changes after the launch of the SBC Learning Channel occurred on April 6, 2023.

Semesters:

  • Consequently, each year will be split in semesters starting April and September.
  • The last semester will be computed based on the current date of the report rendering, so it may be a very short one (i.e. running the report in April 2nd will result in the last period being 1 day long).
  • The semesters will be labeled as YYYY_I for the first semester and YYYY_II for the second semester of each year.
  • Of course, the information showed will depend on the input data, so last periods may have incomplete data when the running date is later than the data downloading date.

Semester date ranges:

2024_I 2024-04-01 to 2024-04-15 NA

1.2 Adding regions

Since 88.8% of enrollments have no UNICEF region information (region_desc) available, we added a region variable based on UNICEF’S Regional Classifications. Some territories in the data were not present in the classifications, so manual fixing was necessary.

1.3 Linking courses in different languages

Some courses were offered in different languages. We will use a common name in English and add a language variable for easier identification.

2. Analysis

Dashed line in plots represent the launch of the SBC Learning Channel on April 6, 2023.

2.1 Enrollment in SBC Learning Channel over time

Enrollment increased after the launch of the SBC Learning Channel on April 6, 2023.

2.2 Enrollment and completion in courses

Enrolled users vs. course finishers, by month.

Percentage of course finishers over time

Cumulative course enrollment and completion, by year

2.3 Course enrollment and completion, by region

Total course enrollments by country and region

2.4 Course tables

The following tables allow for sorting and filtering data to find, for instance, top courses by enrollment or completion rate. Tables show all courses in dataset.

More details to explore

This table can be used to explore further details. A bit less friendly than the previous one, but with more information. In particular, it allows for accessing data for each course/country/year/language combination.

*Warning: When aggregated, the mean values shown are actually an average of course means.
