Martin Hawksey - Learning Analytics: Threats and opportunities

"My biggest fear is Learning Analytics just becomes ‘computer says no’. I’m reassured that there are many people working very hard to make sure this doesn’t happen, but in the glitz and glamor of ‘big data’, prediction algorithms and dashboards there is a danger that we start caring about the wrong thing. For me the biggest opportunity is analytics are used as feedback, helping inform the conversation."

What the little birdy tells me: Twitter in education 13th Nov 2013 | [Presentation] NetworkED

What the little birdy tells me: Twitter in education 13th Nov 2013 | [Presentation] NetworkED | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

My plan is to have an anthological look at some of my previous/current work with Twitter which follows a natural  passive/monologic  and active/dialogic trajectory. For more information and the stream visit the NetworkED site 

Since the launch of the micro-blogging service Twitter in 2006 a number of academics have experimented with it’s use within education. Examples range from the passive/monologic course announcements to the active/dialogic directed discussion. This workshop will explore some educational ‘Twitter hacks’ which cover a wide range of activities from a free SMS broadcast system, Twitter for classroom voting and the application of social network analysis to for mining Twitter for actionable insights. As part of this participants will be shown a range of free and open source tools to assist in Twitter data collection and analysis including the Twitter Archiving Google Spreadsheet (TAGS) and NodeXL.
