Revolutionising teaching and learning

We have the data - we collect it from many sources and it tells us lots of different things. But what about if we were to provide innovative teaching and learning, and a classroom space that incorporates new technologies at its very heart, to track the impact on our students?

Learning Analytics Ideas 2014

Products

Using data and analytics to support students; improving satisfaction, retention and graduation rates.

The challenge

Universities and colleges don't have enough useful data about students and how they are learning. What they have they don’t analyse and interpret. They are missing opportunities to use technology to provide feedback to students. They need to support staff who could be using analytics and a standard set of tools and technologies to monitor and intervene.

Purpose

To share and prioritise ideas on how best to address the challenge of learning analytics. The timescale is to collect and prioritse some ideas by the end of August. The ideas are being collated from a series of stakeholder discussions from June-August and will feed into a prioritisation workshop in September.

Consultation

The consultation has resulted in three priority areas have been chosen to work on over the next two years and further details are available from the Learning Analytics Blog. The ideas list will be captured and reviewed over time.

Learning Analytics Micro Funding

Micro Projects 2015
Using data and analytics to support students; improving satisfaction, retention and graduation rates.

Learning Analytics Micro-Projects Invitation

Learning Analytics is often focused on a common set of institutional data sets such as the VLE, student information system and library systems. These will form the core of the basic analytics solution being developed by Jisc. The key questions that will be addressed are likely to be around retention and attainment. We recognise that learning analytics has the potential to offer a lot more.

Members of the Learning Analytics network are invited to suggest ideas for small projects to explore more advanced learning analytics. This might involve the use of data sources beyond what is normally collected by institutions; exploring learning analytics to support a wider variety of learning questions or any activity that stretches our current understanding of learning analytics.

Process, Funding and Timescale
- Submission of ideas via http://analytics.ideascale.com by the 31 May 2015
- Ideas will be voted on by members of the learning analytics network

- Funding of £5,000 per project will be provided to the selected ideas (target 3 projects)
- Projects will be required to present their findings at the January 2016 network meeting (date and venue tbc)
