After giving a quick overview of how ESUP-Portail works and gets things done, this session focuses on the different missions and actions being carried out by the Consortium. In the second part of the presentation, we provide examples of how we have been contributing to open source projects under the Apereo's umbrella, namely Karuta, OAE (Open Academic Environment) and the Learning Analytics Initiative (LAI).

61. • The different steps:
> Understand “Learning Analytics”
> Choose the platform (Apereo's LAI)
> Identify available data
> Check data protection policy
> Define uses cases
> Conceive database architecture
> Record/Collect data into the data warehouse
> Produce first dashboards
> Design, implement and execute predictive models
> Develop new dashboards
> LEARNING ANALYTICS <
OUR PROCESS

62. • How to assist the different actors?
> Providing ergonomic, intuitive and ergonomic tools
> Explaining what “Learning Analytics” actually are
> Showing concrete examples of how they can help both teachers
and students
> Helping them understand how to read (and not misread!) the
results
> Giving them advice on how to use these tools -and the
produced results- in their teaching/learning practices
