Workshop Description:

This workshop introduces the field of learning analytics, geared mainly towards faculty, instructional designers and other professionals who are interested in exploring the fundamentals of learning analytics. Learning analytics is a growing area of interest across the academy. New technologies can enable faculty and administrators to gather data about how students are interacting with digital learning environments, such as the campus LMS, and other institutionally provided platforms. This data can be used to inform the future design of courses, and platforms and even the development of predictive tools that can guide individual students towards success. However, the understanding of a practical approach for educators is often missing.

During this one-week workshop, we will learn about the fundamental concepts and approaches used in this quickly evolving field and review basic terminology and concepts related to learning analytics. We will look at analytics from an individual teacher’s perspective as well as program or institution-wide uses. Designed with the practitioner in mind, this applied analytics workshop will include examples of learning analytics approaches and projects happening within higher education as well as highlight methods of building capacity towards an analytics project or strategy. Participants will learn how to identify small-scale, proof-of-concept learning analytics projects and methods that they can try at their institutions. In addition, they will see practical examples of learning analytics to help track student engagement, early warning alerts and other methods of “in-semester” uses of analytics and create a mini project to apply the concepts learned in the workshop.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the similarities and differences between learning analytics, academic analytics, and educational data mining.
• Explore how learning analytics can be useful for faculty and instructional designers
• Identify different types of learning analytics that can be useful for improving learning design
