Steps to Integrate Google Analytics with Moodle

1. Create a Google Analytics Account (if you don’t have one)

• Go to Google Analytics and create an account.
  
• Set up a new property for your Moodle site, and Google will generate a tracking ID (format: UA-XXXXXX-Y) or Measurement ID (format: G-XXXXXXXXXX for GA4).
  

2. Add Google Analytics Tracking Code to Moodle

You’ll need to add the Google Analytics tracking code to Moodle’s theme.

Option 1: Add Tracking Code Directly in the Theme

If you have access to your Moodle theme files, you can manually add the Google Analytics tracking code to the HTML header.

• Go to your Moodle site's theme settings:
  

  • Navigate to Site administration > Appearance > Themes > [Your current theme] (e.g., Moove, Boost, etc.).
    

  • Scroll down to Additional HTML.
    

  • Paste your Google Analytics tracking code in the Within HEAD section. It will look something like this:
    

    html
    Copy code
    <!-- Google Analytics -->
    <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXXX-X"></script>
    <script>
      window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
      function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
      gtag('js', new Date());
      gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXXX-X');  // Replace with your tracking ID
    </script>
    <!-- End Google Analytics -->
    
    

• Save the changes.
