analysis or cognitive thinking
testing.
• Need technical expertise to
create test/ assessment items
Learning Analytics
Learning Analytics
measurement, collection,
analysis and reporting of data
about learners and their contexts,
for purposes of understanding
and optimizing learning and the
environments in which it occurs
Purpose
For individual learners to reflect on their
achievements and patterns of behaviour in
relation to others;
as predictors of students requiring extra support
and attention;
to help teachers and support staff plan supporting
interventions with individuals and groups;
for functional groups such as course team seeking
to improve current courses or develop new
curriculum offerings; and
for institutional administrators taking decisions on
matters such as marketing and recruitment or
efficiency and effectiveness measures.

Purpose
Analytics have been used for:
Prediction purposes, for example to identify "at
risk" students in terms of drop out or course failure
Persoanlization & Adaptation
- provide students with tailored learning pathways,
or assessment materials
Intervention purposes, providing educators with
information to intervene to support students
Information visualization
- learning dashboards which provide overview
learning data through data visualisation tools
Methods
Content analysis (students work – eg. essays).
Discourse analytics,
- capture meaningful data on student interactions
- explore the properties of the language used
Social learning analytics,
- explore the role of social interaction in learning
- importance of learning networks, discourse used to
sensemake
• Disposition analytics
- capture data regarding student's dispositions to their
own learning,
 For example, "curious" learners may be more inclined
to ask questions, and this data can be captured and
analysed for learning analytics.
