Learning Analytics and Personalized Learning - ETEC522-Social Analytics - 0 views

  • 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.

SNAPP (Social Networks Advancing Pedagogical Practice) is one university-based learning analytics program (developed at the University of Wollongong in Australia) that analyses the social networks that form within learning management systems. SNAPP records statistics on not only which students participate on LMS’, and how frequently, but also pays close attention to which students respond to which students’ comments and posts, emerging leaders, whose posts are frequent and elicit much discussion, and outliers, who contribute little. Snapp also provides visualizations of these social networks to instructors and course administrators.
