Engagement analytics for Docebo

Docebo records completion and navigation well. Attention is a different measurement problem, and it is solved in the content layer.

In short

Docebo reports completion, progress and assessment results, but has no visibility into attention within a piece of content. Emotuit adds content-level engagement data — dwell, focus, tab-switching and drop-off position — through a sub-50KB script, alongside existing reporting rather than replacing it.

What Docebo already gives you

Docebo Analytics provides course completion, enrolment, learner progress and a custom report builder. Docebo Learn Data adds a warehouse layer for larger deployments.

What it does not

Comprehensive at the enrolment and completion layer, silent below it. You can see that 62% completed a course and nothing about which of its twelve lessons cost you the other 38%.

This is not a criticism of Docebo specifically — it is true of essentially every LMS on the market. Completion and navigation data is what these systems were built to record, and they record it well. Attention is a different measurement problem, solved in the content layer rather than the platform layer.

How Emotuit fits

Inject via the Custom CSS/JS feature in Admin Menu → Settings → Advanced Settings, or through a Docebo Page widget. Content positions map to training material IDs.

The SDK is under 50KB, adds one script tag, and requires no migration or infrastructure change. It runs alongside Docebo's own reporting rather than replacing it.

Details

Where the data lands

Engagement scores map to Docebo learning object IDs and can be pushed back as custom fields.

Works with

Docebo-hosted content, SCORM and xAPI packages, and embedded video.

What you get

Metric Detail
Content-level engagement A score for every section, not one per course
Drop-off position Where sessions actually end
Focus-adjusted dwell Real attention, discounting background tabs
Tab-switch rate The strongest single predictor of disengagement
Replay behaviour Where learners went back — a confusion signal
Cohort comparison A/B test content versions on real attention

Deployment options

Emotuit runs in two configurations, and for LMS deployments in the EU the choice matters.

Signals uses behavioural telemetry only — no camera, no biometric data, no emotion inference. It sits outside the EU AI Act Article 5(1)(f) prohibition on inferring emotions in workplace and education contexts, which makes it the default recommendation for corporate L&D and education.

Learn adds a client-side facial expression layer. It should not be deployed to EU employees or students, and is intended for market research, UX and media testing contexts.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace Docebo's built-in reporting?
No. It runs alongside it. Docebo continues to handle completion, grades and compliance evidence exactly as before — Emotuit adds the content-level attention layer underneath, answering which sections held people rather than who finished.
Does it need a webcam?
Not in Signals configuration, which is what we recommend for LMS deployments. It uses browser events only — visibility state, window focus, dwell, scroll and interaction timing. There is no camera permission prompt because there is nothing to permit.
How long does integration take?
Typically a day or two. Most of that is mapping your content structure so engagement data lands against the right sections and modules rather than an arbitrary timeline. The script itself is one line.
Will it slow the platform down?
No measurable effect. The SDK is under 50KB, listens to native browser events rather than polling, and batches its reporting. It does not touch the rendering path.
