  • Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimising learning and the environments in which it occurs [1]. A related field is educational data mining.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimising learning and the environments in which it occurs [1]. A related field is educational data mining. Work in progress: sociologists like Wellman and Watts...and mathematicians like Barabasi and Strogatz.

  • Analytics marries large data sets, statistical techniques, and predictive modeling. It could be thought of as the practice of mining institutional data to produce "actionable intelligence."

      so pretty much its saying gathering data, looking at the results, and doing something about it. Taking action
  • Many institutions have implemented analytics to improve enrollment management. Institutional researchers collaborating with admissions staff have created complex formulas—based on standardized exam scores, high school coursework, and other information—to determine which applicants will be admitted
  • With the increased concern for accountability, academic analytics has the potential to create actionable intelligence to improve teaching, learning, and student success. Traditionally academic systems—such as course management systems, student response systems, and similar tools—have generated a wide array of data that may relate to student effort and success. Early academic analytics initiatives are seeking to predict which students are in academic difficulty, allowing faculty and advisors to customize learning paths or provide instruction tailored to specific learning needs.

      For those of us doing customization as a topic, the key phrase in this paragraph is "allowing faculty and advisers to customize learning paths or provide instruction tailored to specific learning needs."

  • Analytics generates a system alert for advisors to initiate an Individual Learning Plan (ILP)
  • Analytics can be a powerful tool for higher education
  • As the practice of analytics is refined, colleges and universities can place more and better information into the hands of a greater number of people, enabling informed decision-making.
  • the focus of future analytics efforts can shift from predicting who is going to be successful to customizing learning environments so that the most effective instructional approaches are used for each student. Eventually, institutions may be able to provide unique learning paths, matching instructional activities to a student's learning needs.

      This phrase is about customizing learning analytics!

      and it talks about how using learning analytics can help institutions customize unique learning activities to a students learning needs.

    This site completely talks about academic and learning analytics and gives specific examples of schools and colleges that use analytics to improve student education

    Learning analytics are underused but will be one of the most important tools in our online toolbox. Once we grasp the importance of these, we will be demanding more and more intelligence on behalf of the learning analytics that we use to support elearning, apps, and all of the things our students use as part of their learning toolbox.

  • During the learning analytics conference in Banff, several presenters mentioned the speed at which analytics are moving into policy level decisions in universities and schools. Malcolm Brown, from EDUCAUSE, made the statement that learning analytics “are moving faster than any of us realize”.

    This artical talks about how leaning anayltics is rapidly increasing in use around in education. It says that the factors for this are business intelligence technology sector increase for accountability and increased entrepreneurial help for the education sector. Learning anaylitics is used to change the education system to a new more personal one that is better than the traditional ways now. Such attempts have brought up new education resources like online learning companies like Pearson who has created blackboard and other sections that collect data and create a new way of learning. The moodle also came out of the Idea for learning anaylics but still maintains a closed system that does not change or adapt.

      Such a thoughtful and intelligent idea: Bringing solar powered ipads to third world countries for learning
  • 'School Box' which will take iPads to the most remote rural schools - using solar power and micro projectors we will be able to bring computerised teaching aids to the poorest schools
  • "I hope we will get the first pilot programmes started early next year. If we can get it to work in Zimbabwe, I am sure it will spread to the poor schools throughout Africa - and beyond".
  • Elena Ares on 16 Mar 12
     
    Using iPads to help students in third world countries to learn. This is such a good idea so that way the children are able to learn with apps and also can learn to read with this.
