What Do We Need For Learning Analytics? • Data • Predictive Modeling – (Questions and Results) • Reports/Views of Data • Continual process • Best Practices • Defined Metrics • Business Rules • Derived Information
Where to Begin? • Will data REALLY optimize educational experience? • Uncertainty about where to start • No established industry best practice about what to measure • No established industry best practice around methodology • Organizational Culture, Learning Culture and Status Quo • Enterprise concern about what the data will show • Competing priorities and lack of incentive for collaboration between different groups • Siloed data across the enterprise sure doesn’t help - 2011 Online Educa Berlin, Ellen Wagner, Sage Road Solutions, LLC
Questions • Are students engaged in their courses? • How does level of activity influence grades? • Can we identify and interact with “at-risk” students before they fail? • Can we motivate students through comparison? • What are the correlations between use of certain LMS tools and student success? • Are we meeting our adoption goals?
