recommended by Maryellen Weimer in her blog http://www.facultyfocus.com/articles/teaching-professor-blog/teaching-metacognition-to-improve-student-learning/ where she includes some great questions to get students going (e.g., one minute papers or dyads in class):
- How have I prepared for class today?/What's the best way for me to prepare for a class like this one?
- What questions do I have
- Why did I miss those exam questions/ What do I need to do to avoid missing questions like these on the next exam?

referred to in EdFuture.net webinar by Simon Buckingham Shum, Associate Director (Technology), Knowledge Media Institute, Open University, UK - uses student data generated from LMS (inc Bb and Moodle) discussion forums reinterpreted into a network diagram
Can visually depict
- disconnected (at risk) students
- key information brokers within a class
- potentially high and low performing students so to plan interventions before deadline for grading
- before/after snapshots to indicate impact of intervention
- student reflection/benchmarking in informal self-assessment
