Measure Udemy’s Impact with Watershed
Are you getting the most out of your Udemy investment? Connect with Watershed to discover the videos that are loved by learners, and insights into how your learning content is used.
Udemy provides access to a vast marketplace of video training on a wide range of relevant topics. But people can only benefit from Udemy to the extent they use it. Watershed allows you to make the most of your investment by providing unparalleled insights into learner usage and content trends.
With Watershed, you can keep an eye on who is accessing and completing specific Udemy courses, monitor usage trends, highlight popular content, and even compare Udemy’s course length estimates with how long people are taking to complete.

Our reports are all automated, fully customizable, and are perfect for spotting trends. Use Watershed to empower your people to make data-driven learning and development decisions.

Evaluate course length estimates against actual time spent.
Udemy courses provide estimated durations so users can best plan their learning. But these time estimates are only helpful if they are accurate. So how do they compare to the actual time taken by your learners?
Use Watershed to compare estimated completion times against your learners’ completion times to find and review any content with significant differences. You also can see if your learners are typically faster or slower than the time estimates to help learners set realistic expectations.
Measure learning’s business impact.
Tracking completions helps ensure learners stay on track, but is the learning having a tangible impact on helping people progress while also addressing the company’s needs?
Use Watershed to combine your Udemy completion data with an employee survey, job performance, and business metric data to evaluate the true impact of each course.
Drill down through your organization hierarchy with HRIS integration.
- Combine HRIS data with Udemy data in Watershed for deeper analytics exploring how different departments use Udemy. This means you can:
- Present managers with filtered views showing data about just their people, including lists of people who still need to complete required training.
- Compare Udemy usage by department to identify parts of the organization where uptake is low.
- Control data permissions to ensure people can only see the data they are permitted to see.
How do I convince my stakeholders?
The enhanced insights you get from connecting Watershed with Udemy allow you to continuously improve your learning programs and the quality that learners experience.
However, we know that getting buy-in from stakeholders can be challenging. That’s why we’ve put this handy guide together to get you moving:
How does Watershed work with Udemy?
Watershed has a reusable Udemy CSV connector that regularly pulls data from Udemy for use in Watershed reports. This data is then combined with HRIS data and data from your other learning platforms so you can start configuring reports and dashboards in our easy-to-use Report Builder.
We’ll handle this process for you from start to finish, so you can sit back and relax while our data experts do their thing.
What data is included?
Data captured by Udemy and imported into Watershed includes:
- Course metadata—such as course length, number of items in the course, category and subcategory, instructor name, link to the course thumbnail, and more.
- Completion of course items, such as assessments, videos, and other media.
- Course start, progress, and completion. This includes data on enrollment date, whether the course is assigned and by whom, and the time taken to complete.
While our implementation team will take care of all of the details when importing your Udemy data into our learning record store, you may find this eGuide helpful:
