Swinburne is piloting a learning analytics program in semester 2 of 2016 to help improve student retention, success, and provide feedback to teachers. The pilot will involve training around 20 units on learning analytics and conducting four interventions throughout the semester - ensuring student engagement with the online learning system, contacting students who failed initial assessments, professional development for staff on analytics reports, and a reflective exercise for staff on applying learning analytics to their units.

circulated with relevant groups. This pilot
includes some initial training for around
20+ units followed by four main
intervention points throughout semester 2
of 2016. These four interventions are listed
below:
• An intervention to ensure students are
logging into and understand the use of Bb
• An intervention to contact students who
failed or missed handing in an initial
assessment task

9. Semester 2, 2016 Implementation
• An intervention with staff to offer PD on
interpreting the Analytics reports and
creating a list of actions for teacher follow-
up
• An intervention inviting staff to apply what
they have learned over the semester in
reflectively examining their practice within
the unit.
