Learn's Caliper Analytics stream sends ViewEvent messages to cover four use cases:

• User clicks on an assignment link
• User clicks on an external link
• User clicks on a discussion board link
• User clicks on a content file link

Here is some of the key data that is associated with all ViewEvents:

group.courseNumber - the course batch_uid (i.e. the ID sent in by LIS or Data Integration)

object.@id - …/content/id - the primary key for the content ID

action - Viewed
