Hi Sage, will this functionality be integrated into Wikimetrics eventually?
I expect so eventually, whether through Wikimetrics or some other WMF
Analytics project. Wikimetrics could probably add a 'number of
articles edited' metric easily. A fast WMF solution for page views is
in the works, but I'm not sure if that will be part of Wikimetrics.

Could the course ID be added to the summary table in
each course's page?
Currently, you can get the course ID from the Institution page of any
course (or from Special:Courses). It wouldn't be that hard to add it
to the summary table on the course page itself; I'll keep that in mind
for the next time there's work being done on the course page
interface.

This sounds like a fantastic tool Sage, thank you!
However, I tried the Page
view stats and the page seems to time out before the analysis is finished...
do you have suggestions how to fix it?
The page views feature relies on stats.grok.se, which is quite slow,
usually taking several seconds per request. So the only workaround for
this tool is to limit the number of requests, such as by making the
data range just one month. Even then, it might not work for a large
class. If you're really eager to compile page view data for large
numbers of articles, it can be done with a script on your own
computer; I had such a script running for about 6 hours to collect
page view data for an entire term's worth of articles for US/Canada
classes.
But hopefully a faster way of getting page view data isn't too far off.
