What is Learning Analytics? – Infographic

What is Learning Analytics? – Infographic | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"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."

Beth Dichter's insight:

This detailed infographic provides an in-depth look at learning analytics. It begins by describing traditional education as a school bus, with the expectation that all students will get to "the finish line together."

The infographic then turns to personalized learning, where students would work at their pace and in their way to master material.

Analytics play a key role in personalized education. Why? If you use a tool that provides you with the ability to measure, collect, analyze and report data about your students you have the opportunity to adapt curriculum. The infographic shares seven areas that may be considered.

From here the infographic moves to the learning analytics cycle which moves to four areas:

* Descriptive - What has happened?

* Diagnostic - Why has it happened?

* Predictive - What will happen?

* Prescriptive - What should I do?

What comes next? The role of the teacher, which is followed by a What's Next section.

There is much to learn about learning analytics in this infographic. You may download the complete infographic from the site.

Muita expectativa mas ainda poucos resultados concretos ... De qualquer modo, esta se formando uma percepção de que o modelo educacional vai ser fortemente impactado nos próximos anos

Learning Analytics: Lots of Education Data... Now What?

Learning Analytics: Lots of Education Data... Now What? | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"What is learning analytics – as a field of study, as a practice, as a set of tools, as a way to collect and analyze educational data? What are we tracking, and to what end?

This article provides a working definition and then explores a number of questions, raising the importation notion that learning analytics should be used to help us support "student learning."

A number of issues are also raised such as "Do we tell students what data we collect and how we are going to use it? Do students dontrol and do they own their learning data?"

On Educational Data Mining

On Educational Data Mining | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"The Department of Education released a draft report about big data and education today. It's called "Enhancing Teaching and Learning through Educational Data Mining and Learning Analytics," a title that's unlikely to win any converts to the notion of a data-curious* view of learning. Part of what's going to get stuck in the craw is that phrase "data mining," I reckon."

Do we really understand what data mining?  This post links to an interview that may help you understand this question. It also looks at the how data mining practices might be used in education, along with learning analytics around questions such as (and all quoted from the article):

* What sequence of topics is most effective for a specific student?
* What student actions are associated with more learning?
* What student actions indicate satisfaction, engagement, learning progress, etc.?
* What will predict student success?
*When is a student falling behind and/or at risk for not completing a course?
