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.

      learning analytics helps to enhance student learning
  • learning analytics involves using a web analytics program, such as Google Analytics, to track students’ usage of their LMS and other digital learning objects, as one way to gauge learner engagement.
  • Educators can use this data to: help them make realtime decisions on how they might modify their course to better suit learners. Identify potential ‘at-risk’ students who may need an intervention in order to avoid failing a course module or an entire course.

  • At this macro level, administrators at school and district levels use learning analytics to gauge students’ performance, and to compare how schools are performing vis a vis each other.
  • which measures schools’ overall performance through students’ performance on state standardized tests.
  • . 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.

Academic Analytics: A New Tool for a New Era (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUCAUSE - 0 views

  • 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."
    • Tess T
       
      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.
