    I think there is a potential to inject a feedback mechanism in this course, and any MOOC for that matter, with regard to the helpfulness of reading material in the Syllabus.  I think that would especially suit the Learning & Knowledge Analytics course.

    The first impressions I have of a venture like this are positive but not without hesitation. I won't conceal it from you that it is less the topic of "learning analytics" that's of interest to me (although I am ready to learn something about this too), but the course itself. This is also where my hesitation lies, but we shall talk more about this later in the course.

    The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the world's largest philanthropy, and the foundation associated with Pearson, the giant textbook and school technology company, announced a partnership on Wednesday to create online reading and math courses aligned with the new academic standards that some 40 states have adopted in recent months.

    My goal with practical learning analytics is to provide access to data in ways that an average teacher, with no special training, can leverage in order to help her students succeed. This is, of course, an extremely tall order

  • Curation is an important component in the process.
  • Curation is important – yes, it’s biased, yes it misses contributions, but it’s personal

  • I think we need to also focus on the human aspect of data, sensemaking, curation, and trust.

  • la falta de archivos y la integración de las conversaciones en otros espacios en el correo electrónico diario. Hay dos razones principales para ello: Queremos demostrar que si alguien quiere ofrecer un curso en línea abierta, que no es necesario para ejecutar su propio servidor o escribir su propio software. Nosotros no pedimos Stephen si podría funcionar este curso en su sitio

      programa que soluciones esto?
  • Lo que perder - y todavía estoy inquieto acerca de esta compensación - es el archivo integrada de la actividad en el curso. Puedo enviar un correo electrónico diario al grupo de Google. Yo enlaces agregados / deliciosa / diigo / enlaces Twitter y comentarios sobre mi página de Netvibes . El problema, sin embargo, es que Netvibes es más bien tonto. Simplemente deja el contenido de la página hasta que algo nuevo ha sido publicado. Si usted es el seguimiento de la actividad en Netvibes, es probable que gran parte del encuentro el mismo contenido hasta que se ha actualizado con nuevo contenido. La actividad no se archivan por fecha.
  • Para CCK11 (a partir del lunes), vamos a experimentar con la realización del curso sin un LMS y el uso de gRSShopper sólo para la interacción. En LAK11, una de las adiciones clave parece ser el papel de "Defensor curso" que Dave Cormier está cumpliendo.
  • Tony Searl está empezando a desempeñar un papel similar al agregar los blogs del curso y contenido en función de sus intereses.
  • Curación es un componente importante en el proceso.
  • Si bien la información está creciendo en la abundancia y las herramientas y algoritmos (minería de datos, visualización) se están desarrollando como soluciones, no podemos pasar por alto la importancia de la señalización y la construcción de sentido en los sistemas sociales

    After visualizing chat room dialogue earlier this week, I thought it might be neat to try and visualize some Twitter dialogue from the #LAK11 course.  For some reason I thought it would be simple to extract tweets from Twitter for analysis.  It wasn't!  So if you happen to know an easier way please leave a comment.

    Academic analytics helps address the public's desire for institutional accountability with regard to student success, given the widespread concern over the cost of higher education and the difficult economic and budgetary conditions prevailing worldwide. Purdue University's Signals project applies the principles of analytics widely used in business intelligence circles to the problem of improving student success within a course and, hence, improving the institution's retention and graduation rates over time.

  • This simple change made Google's ad marketplace much more efficient than Overture's. Notice that the algorithm itself is quite simple; it is the addition of the new data that made the difference.
  • Of course, you have to be judicious in your choice of the data to add to your data set.
  • Tony Searl on 17 Jan 11
     
    But the bigger point is, adding more, independent data usually beats out designing ever-better algorithms to analyze an existing data set. I'm often suprised that many people in the business, and even in academia, don't realize this.
