  3. Black box of education

  4. Hell is a place where nothing connects with nothing T.S. Eliot

  5. …or where everything connects with everything

  6. 1. Introduction to learning analytics

  7. Academic Analytics “Academic analytics helps address the public’s desire for institutional accountability with regard to student success, given the widespread concern over the cost of higher education and the difficult economic and budgetary conditions prevailing worldwide.” http://www.educause.edu/EDUCAUSE+Quarterly/EDUCAUSEQuarterlyMagazineVolum/SignalsApplyingAcademicAnalyti/199385

  8. Learning Analytics “Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs”

  9. Knowledge Analytics Linked data, semantic web, knowledge webs: how knowledge connects, how it flows, how it changes

  10. 2. Rise of Big data

  11. “This is a world where massive amounts of data and applied mathematics replace every other tool that might be brought to bear. Out with every theory of human behavior, from linguistics to sociology. Forget taxonomy, ontology, and psychology. Who knows why people do what they do? The point is they do it, and we can track and measure it with unprecedented fidelity. With enough data, the numbers speak for themselves. The big target here isn't advertising, though. It's science.” http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/magazine/16-07/pb_theory

  12. “Social data is set to be surpassed in the data economy, though, by data published by physical, real-world objects like sensors, smart grids and connected devices.” http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/china_moves_to_dominate_the_next_stage_of_the_web_internet_of_things.php

  13. Blurring the physical and virtual worlds

  14. Central Nervous System for Earth (CeNSE) http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/intelligent_infrastructure/

  15. Smarter Planet

  16. All the world is data. And so are we. And all of our actions. http://www.hoganphoto.com/batsto_grist_mill.htm

  17. 3. Semantic Web, Linked Data, & Intelligent Curriculum

  18. Integrated Knowledge and Learning Analytics Model: iKLAM Bringing together physical (organizational resources, presence, libraries) and locational (xWeb) data with online activities (in various places: email, FB, LMS, PLE, CRM)…to improve personal learning and knowledge evaluation

  19. 4. Tools & Examples of Analytics
