  • But the most dramatic factor shaping the future of higher education is something that we can’t actually touch or see: big data and analytics. Basing decisions on data and evidence seems stunningly obvious, and indeed, research indicates that data-driven decision-making improves organizational output and productivity.
  • According to the 1st International Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge, “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.”
  • Analytics spans the full scope and range of activity in higher education, affecting administration, research, teaching and learning, and support resources.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • How do big data and analytics generate value for higher education? They can improve administrative decision-making and organizational resource allocation. They can identify at-risk learners and provide intervention to assist learners in achieving success. By analyzing discussion messages posted, assignments completed, and messages read in LMSs such as Moodle and Desire2Learn, educators can identify students who are at risk of dropping out.13 They can create, through transparent data and analysis, a shared understanding of the institution’s successes and challenges. They can innovate and transform the college/university system, as well as academic models and pedagogical approaches. They can assist in making sense of complex topics through the combination of social networks and technical and information networks: that is, algorithms can recognize and provide insight into data and at-risk challenges. They can help leaders transition to holistic decision-making through analyses of what-if scenarios and experimentation to explore how various elements within a complex discipline (e.g., retaining students, reducing costs) connect and to explore the impact of changing core elements. They can increase organizational productivity and effectiveness by providing up-to-date information and allowing rapid response to challenges. They can help institutional leaders determine the hard (e.g., patents, research) and soft (e.g., reputation, profile, quality of teaching) value generated by faculty activity.14 They can provide learners with insight into their own learning habits and can give recommendations for improvement. Learning-facing analytics, such as the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) Check My Activity tool, allows learners to “compare their own activity . . . against an anonymous summary of their course peers.”15

      Number nine also talks about customizing how students are taught. It says that Learning Analytics "can provide learners with insight into their own learning habits and can give recommendations for improvement."
  • Analytics in education must be transformative, altering existing teaching, learning, and assessment processes, academic work, and administration.
    • Tess T
      Tess T on 12 Mar 12
       
      This right here is directly talking about using learning analytics to customize   how students are taught
  • Undoubtedly, analytics and big data have a significant role to play in the future of higher education. The growing role of analysis techniques and technologies in government and business sectors affirms this trend. In education the value of analytics and big data can be found in (1) their role in guiding reform activities in higher education, and (2) how they can assist educators in improving teaching and learning.
    • Tess T
      Tess T on 12 Mar 12
       
      So pretty much this is saying that Learning Analytics can improve education because it can assist educators and help them improve their teaching and education based off of the data that they find about their students

      Learning Analytics helps educators find out whats wrong and change it around the student so the student can get the best education possible
  • Learning analytics is essential for penetrating the fog that has settled over much of higher education. Educators, students, and administrators need a foundation on which to enact change. For educators, the availability of real-time insight into the performance of learners—including students who are at-risk—can be a significant help in the planning of teaching activities. For students, receiving information about their performance in relation to their peers or about their progress in relation to their personal goals can be motivating and encouraging. Finally, administrators and decision-makers are today confronted with tremendous uncertainty in the face of budget cuts and global competition in higher education. Learning analytics can penetrate the fog of uncertainty around how to allocate resources, develop competitive advantages, and most important, improve the quality and value of the learning experience.

    This article is about how data mining and research can help make decisions. This process is using statistical information instead of using informal guessing. It is beginning to be used on a wide level including medicine , business , and social programs and schools. It also says that education most have a reform and learning anaylitcs will have the biggest impact in deciding what will change or what will be added. So many of the students now a days spends time on the internet with social media and this leaves a foot print which leaves data of how their learning process works. Learning anaylitics is important because it benefits administrative and student purposes.

  • Just as businesses use social analytics to suggest personalized options to consumers based on their buying habits, individual teachers can use learning analytics to help them develop adaptive, personalized learning plans for individual students.
  • The School of One program, in use in several New York City public schools, uses learning analytics to develop personalized mathematics learning programs. The School of One’s learning algorithm conducts everyday assessments of a student’s learning style and math skills, and uses this to produce a personalized learning “playlist” for each student. This playlist is comprised of individual lessons in math, which are put into the order that the algorithm determines is optimal for the student’s math skills development. Certainly, School of One is quick to note that this is intended to supplement, not to replace, an individual teacher’s expertise. Similarly to how Hunch focuses on social media analytics as a consumer service, other learning analytics programs are being developed for use by both learners and teachers to enhance individual learning. Socrato is one such program that is primarily intended for students preparing to write standardized multiple-choice tests. It performs learner analytics on students’ online practice tests to identify which areas students most need to improve upon.

  • 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.

  • “the use of data and models to predict student progress and performance, and the ability to act on that information”.
  • Effective utilization of learning analytics can help schools and universities to pick up on signals that indicate difficulties with learner performance. Just as individuals communicate social intentions through signals well before they actually “think” they make a decision, learners signal success/failure in the learning process through reduced time on task, language of frustration (in LMS forums), long lag periods between logins, and lack of direct engagement with other learners or instructors.

She started off using the LMS system which is a program that tracks the data of students like where they go and how on task they are. She mostly used this to grade not knowing the full uses of this process and concluded that in order for researching learning and analyzing them you need a whole education faculty on board. If the process of learning analytics is fully understood and used it possibilities are very high.

Then the data is analyzed. After that the supposedly find something to improve learning. After this they introduce this the the education system to get approval of use. And the last step is intervention where the new method starts or is in development to be integrated in the education for students.
