Completing the Loop: Returning Meaningful Learning Analytic Data to Teachers | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
PURPOSE
This project aims to develop a better understanding of learning analytics and the ways in which analytics can be interpreted, applied and actioned by teachers to improve teaching and learning practices.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The great diversity of the student body in Australian universities is reflected in students' ages, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, motivations and experiences with technology. University teachers are also increasingly reliant on – and expected to use – a range of technologies to support student learning both on and off campus. In designing and delivering online learning activities to meet diverse student needs, teachers commonly face educational challenges. This project will identify common problems faced by teachers and students when learning online, and determine the types of learning analytics teachers would find useful to effectively address these problems.
