  • Evidence from top-performing schools shows that use of data, analysis, and feedback are our best tools for improvement.
  • The increasing use of online software and digital devices in classrooms presents an opportunity to collect high-frequency data for mining. Today’s analytics techniques could be used to develop a deeper understanding of how students learn, recommend personalized learning plans, and identify early warning flags. Rich data, analytics, and feedback enable a process of iteration and continuous improvement, where educators become learners, and we figure out how to improve education. We are at the beginning of a wave of data-driven change in education, with important social consequences and fantastic opportunities.

      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.

  • 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.

  • 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
      Tess T on 12 Mar 12
       
      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.

  • 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.

Education Week: Educators Evaluate Learning Benefits of iPad - 0 views

  • a development that astonishes some ed-tech experts since the device is less than 15 months old, and K-12 educators are traditionally slow adopters of new technology.
  • ith a battery life of eight to 10 hours and a weight of just over a pound, the iPad offers more portability and less startup time during the full school day than laptops or netbooks, while its screen size facilitates more flexibility using the Web and easier input than smartphones.
  • “Is this the best use of our funds, or is it simply a tool to engage and motivate our students?” he asks. “Of course, technology has that capability, but is that always the best angle?”
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The question may be whether the iPad is best suited as a 1-to-1 device or to be shared as part of a stable of digital classroom tools. For example, on the other side of Arlington, Jamestown Elementary School’s instructional technology coordinator, Camilla Gagliolo, has stashed the nearly 60 iPads at her school in technology cabinets across classrooms in the 550-student K-5 school. About a half-dozen sit in each cabinet, next to a similar number of netbook computers and iPod touch media players.
  • students can choose which device to use for an ongoing book-publishing project. During math in Bill Donovan’s 4th grade class, students rotate between workstations working on quick-response math exercises. Some are using math-drill apps on the iPad, iPod touches, or laptops. And some are using old-fashioned pencil and paper.

    South Koreans realize that technology doesn't always bring progress. Not going as ebook as planned according to this washington post article. "But South Korea, among the world's most wired nations, has also seen its plan to digitize elementary, middle and high school classrooms by 2015 collide with a trend it didn't anticipate: Education leaders here worry that digital devices are too pervasive and that this young generation of tablet-carrying, smartphone-obsessed students might benefit from less exposure to gadgets, not more. Those concerns have caused South Korea to pin back the ambition of the project, which is in a trial stage at about 50 schools. Now, the full rollout won't be a revolution: Classes will use digital textbooks alongside paper textbooks, not instead of them. First- and second-graders, government officials say, probably won't use the gadgets at all."
