2. UvAInform: Past, Present, and Future •From “Bottom-Up” tender procedure (more = less) •Dilution of funds, disconnected pilot projects •Lack of strategic vision (trial and error) •To “Top-Down” project (less = more) •1/3 of budget devoted to ‘lasting’ central infrastructure •Limited number of goal directed pilot projects •Need for a vision •Parallels?

6. Stage 1: Learning Record Store with Dashboards Learning Record Store •Standards based •Talking with the same machine readable data format •Market share Regional / International We can attach services from departments, VU the HvA through the LRS. Avoiding duplication, leveraging investment, sharing experience, increasing quality by cross validation. •Compatible with other a number of validated frameworks •Eliminates much of the data cleaning •Secure Repository Validation across services DashBoards If we speak the same language, we can consistently validate services •Experiment with interventions •Experiment with benchmarking validation •Start of process of growing regional services •Breaking down silos •Forces ethics committee other processes •Fuller overview Services for researchers We can now provided a wide range of consistent data practices for researchers

7. Responsibilities of the Focus group • • • • • • • • Vision Avoid duplication of effort Guidelines Communication channel with the VU and HvA, Surf, Internationally Starter engine for ethics board Source of advice for Learning Analytics (related) projects Market research Matchmaking

8. Something to take away • Without an LRS we are stuck with data silo’s, dirty data, no clear strategy to work together • Standards decouple components in the infrastructure • Standards support validation across services • Standards and guidelines are mutually supportive • Researcher friendly • Lets look towards a uniform set of guidelines for products services • Lets work with an International community • Let’s look towards data democracy between facilities
