Learning Analytics
• Boundaries of school based learning
• Ethics of crossing these boundaries
• Implications for life long learning
• Individual vs aggregated analysis

30. Virtual Laboratories
• Students can make mistakes and repeat experiments
• Record and replay experiments to analyse for areas of
improvement and acknowledge excellence
• Often developed and linked with current research labs
• Laboratory/Workshops work not limited to a schools
physical labs/workshops

• Teacher/Institution Centred vs Learner Centred
• Blackboard/Moodle vs Social Media
• SCORM -> Tin Can API
• Platform Reliance

89. Learning Analytics
• Prediction (in which data is used to predict future
performance);
• Clustering  (identify similarities in students/tasks);
• Relationship mining (between students, teachers,
concepts, etc.);
• Modeling (creating a model and using this for further
prediction or analysis); and
• Distillation of data for human judgment (the most
common use by teachers using statistics and
visualisations).
Learning
Analytics
90. Learning Analytics
• Extracting and analysing data from learning
management systems;
• Building an analytics matrix that incorporates data
from multiple sources (social media, LMS, student
information systems, etc);
• Profile or model development of individual learners
(across the analytics matrix);
• Predictive analytics: determining at-risk learners;
• Automated intervention and adaptive analytics: i.e.
the learner model should be updated rapidly to
reflect near real-time learner success and activity
so that decisions are not made on out-dated models;
Learning
Analytics
91. Learning Analytics
• Development of "intelligent curriculum" where
learning content is semantically defined;
• Personalisation and adaptation of learning based
on intelligent curriculum where content, activities,
and social connections can be presented to each
learner based on their profile or existing
knowledge; and
• Advanced assessment: comparing learner profiles
with architecture of knowledge in a domain for
grading or assessment.
Learning
Analytics
92. Learning Analytics
• Data can uncover problems that might otherwise
remain invisible
• Data can convince people of the need for change
• Data can confirm or discredit assumptions about
students and school practices
• Data can get to the root cause of problems, pinpoint
areas where change is most needed, and guide
resource allocation
Learning
Analytics
93. Learning Analytics
• Data can prevent reliance on standardised tests.
• Data can help evaluate program effectiveness and
keep the focus on student learning
• Data can prevent one-size-fits-all solutions
• Data can help address accountability questions
• Data can build a culture of inquiry and improvement
