Learning Analytics: What is it? Why do it? And how?Timothy Harfield
This document provides an introduction and overview of learning analytics. It defines learning analytics as the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning. The document outlines what learning analytics is, what its uses are, and how to get started with learning analytics. Learning analytics can benefit both teachers and learners by helping to identify at-risk students, increase engagement, provide feedback on course design, and support increased achievement. While issues around privacy, responsibility, and defining success must be considered, learning analytics tools in learning management systems and do-it-yourself options are available to help educators get started with learning analytics.
Blackboard’s data science team conducts large-scale analysis of the relationship between the use of our academic technologies and student impact, in order to inform product design, disseminate effective practices, and advance the base of empirical research in educational technologies.
In this presentation, John Whitmer, Director of Analytics & Research, will discuss findings from 2016. Some findings challenge our conventional knowledge, while others confirm what we believed to be true.

Programs Coming Together Using ExamSoft to assess interprofessional education...ExamSoft
Presented by: Carla D. Hernandez, Assessment Coordinator, and Anthony C. Marziliano, Associate Director of Assessment, and Marc E. Gillespie, Ph.D., Professor, Associate Dean for Graduate Education and Research, St. John's University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences
Professional health science programs must now explicitly identify interprofessional education (IPE) activities that provide unique opportunities for student-to-student engagement. Offering IPE activities is essential to advance education in these fields. We actively identify IPE possibilities and a methodology to assess them using ExamSoft’s categorization system. Our faculty are content experts and are in the best position to categorize test-items with national exam blueprints, the essential hierarchical ontologies that drive programs. Blueprints contain goals, outcomes, knowledge domains, professional skills and attributes often required for proficiency in specific health care professions. Mapping between different program blueprints allows the College to identify parts of the curriculum that are shared between programs and are ideal targets for IPE efforts. We provide worked examples where we observed overlapping terms that serve as an impetus for faculty and administrators to capitalize, creating IPE opportunities. By the very nature of this activity, overlapping terms are associated with test items that can be used to establish a pre-IPE activity baseline, as well as, assess the IPE activity itself. Synergistic assessment of shared goals and outcomes (using ExamSoft categories) helps us prepare our students to be outstanding health care professionals in the 21st century.

This document discusses assessment in distance learning. It begins by stating the objectives of identifying guiding principles of assessment in distance learning, discussing formative assessment provisions in DO 31, and sharing insights from last school year's assessment results. It then discusses that assessment should inform and improve practices to promote learning outcomes. Formative assessment in distance learning should include clearly communicating assessment tasks, conducting assessments remotely with flexibility, and providing timely and meaningful feedback as well as remediation. The document emphasizes that feedback is crucial for student learning and improvement. It concludes by thanking participants.
JISC has supported technology-enhanced assessment for over a decade through their e-Learning Programme, focusing on areas like online testing, formative assessment, quality processes, and curriculum redesign. Their current work examines how to better develop learner skills in self-assessment and use of digital tools for educational purposes. While e-assessment systems and assignment submission tools are commonly used, more advanced techniques have seen limited adoption. JISC's publications and projects aim to illustrate effective practice and build capacity in assessment and feedback through strategic use of technologies.
This document provides the guidelines and requirements for Essay Assignment 3: Annotated Bibliography for ENG 101. The annotated bibliography is due November 8th by 5:00 pm and must be between 1200-2000 words. Students must include five outside sources for their research paper, including one book, one e-book, two articles from databases, and one film. For each source, students must provide a Works Cited entry, summary, evaluation, and explanation of how the source will be used. The annotated bibliography will be graded based on a rubric.
Almost every recent higher class DSLR camera features multiple and complex access technologies. For example, CANON’s new flagship features IP connectivity both wired via 802.3 and wireless via 802.11. All big vendors are pushing these features to the market and advertise them as realtime image transfer to the cloud. We have taken a look at the layer 2 and 3 implementations in the CamOS and the services running upon those. Not only did we discover weak plaintext protocols used in the communication, we’ve also been able to gain complete control of the camera, including modification of camera settings, file transfer and image live stream. So in the end the “upload to the clouds” feature resulted in an image stealing Man-in-the-Imageflow. We will present the results of our research on cutting edge cameras, exploit the weaknesses in a live demo and release a tool after the presentation.

Duke's eLearning Roadmap and the Sakai TransitionShawn Miller
Presentation for JasigSakai2012. Session description as follows: Duke's move from Blackboard to Sakai involves much more than simply planning and executing a mass migration: it serves as a key step in Duke's larger eLearning strategy which hopes to shift the focus away from the LMS as a one-point solution for all eLearning needs, and instead leverage the LMS as an integration point for a suite of available Duke and non-Duke tools.
Participants attending the session will be better able to assess and plan similar transitions or implementations. Through a review of Duke's experiences and lessons learned, participants will be able to adapt successful models to their own campus culture and manage priorities to better align their projects with broader institutional goals.

The Writing Initiative: Granted, Technology Makes Better WritersKenneth Ronkowitz
The Writing Initiative at Passaic County Community College in NJ. A review of the process of creating a gen ed curriculum of writing-intensive courses for the improvement of writing across the curriculum and college.
A presentation at the NJ Best Practices conference March 2008.
This project aims to assess information literacy as a core competency for graduating students at Anne Arundel Community College. The college's assessment plan requires evaluating all ten core competencies, including information literacy, over three semesters. For information literacy, the assessment will analyze student work samples using a rubric, survey faculty about how they teach and assess these skills, and examine the curriculum map to see where opportunities exist for students to develop these abilities before graduating. The results are intended to identify any changes needed to research assignments, curriculum mapping, programs, or broader use of assessment tools and library resources to strengthen students' information literacy.

Putting Data to Work
This session explores changing data sensibilities at US post-secondary institutions with particular attention paid to how predictive analytics are changing expectations for institutional accountability and student success. Results from the Predictive Analytics Reporting Framework show that predictive modeling can identify students at risk and that linking behavioral predictions of risk with interventions to mitigate those risks at the point of need is a powerful strategy for increasing rates of student retention, academic progress and completion.

Presentation at E-Learn 2014 International Conference.
describes the conceptual design, instructional development and organizational implementation involved with the transition from a traditional end of program capstone project to a competence-oriented portfolio and oral exam assessment in a public administration graduate program.
The document discusses effective use of rubrics for international students. It notes that the College of Management and Technology has simplified language on rubrics and broken them into manageable chunks for courses with many international students. Well-composed rubrics provide clear grading expectations and reduce time students spend searching for information. From an instructor's perspective, well-crafted rubrics make grading and feedback less burdensome, especially for classes with international students. Overall, rubrics aid communication between instructors and students and help international students understand expectations for assignments in American universities.
The document discusses outcomes assessment and the use of ePortfolios at LaGuardia Community College. It describes how assessment is designed to evaluate institutional effectiveness, student growth over time, and student achievement of programmatic and general education competencies. Assessment involves reviewing student work samples from ePortfolios using developed rubrics, with results returned to programs to inform steps for improvement. The process engages an Assessment Leadership Team, administrators, faculty, program directors, faculty who work with students on competencies and portfolios, and students who deposit work for assessment.
The document discusses learning analytics, which is defined as the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their learning environments. It aims to understand and optimize learning. The document outlines the types of data that is collected on students, including profiles, activities, content accessed, and results. It also discusses the goals of improving student success, retention, and experience. Key topics covered include descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analytics. The document raises important ethical concerns around data access, ownership, transparency and privacy when applying learning analytics and discusses approaches taken by organizations like the Open University.

Media and information literacy: an inconvenient truthAlan Carbery
This document discusses four inconvenient truths about information literacy instruction. First, it is unclear how much of the instruction "sticks" with students and whether they are truly learning. Second, information literacy extends beyond the library and involves other parts of academia. Third, current models of library-centric instruction are not enough in the current information environment. Fourth, information literacy, media literacy, and data literacy are related but distinct concepts. The document calls for rethinking instructional approaches to better achieve intended goals of developing lifelong independent learners.
Connected efforts: combining information, digital, media & emerging literacie...Alan Carbery
This document discusses the role of libraries in developing various literacies, including information, digital, media, and technological literacies. It argues that libraries can play an important role in cultivating these literacies through curated learning opportunities and experiences. Developing these connected literacies is important for empowering people, achieving personal and social goals, and promoting inclusion and free access to information in today's digital world. The document examines some of the challenges around misinformation and the need for libraries to provide literacy development in a non-neutral, interdisciplinary space.
Opportunity Knocks: leveraging collaborative efforts for teaching and learnin...Alan Carbery
The document discusses opportunities for collaboration to strengthen information literacy instruction. It proposes embedding information literacy instruction at least seven times throughout students' undergraduate degrees through interdisciplinary collaboration. It advocates for librarians to collaborate inwards by sharing lesson plans, outwards by partnering with others across the university, and upwards and downwards to align with strategic plans and academic missions. The goal is to make information literacy a core competency by innovating and collaborating in new ways.

Assessing student learning: a rubric-based 'e-portfolio' approach to assessme...Alan Carbery
This document discusses Champlain College's use of a rubric-based e-portfolio approach to assess student learning of information literacy. Students receive information literacy instruction seven times throughout their undergraduate degree. A developmental rubric is used to assess student work samples from first year and junior year courses. Assessment findings show students perform at or beyond expected stages of development. Comparisons of year-to-year results track instructional changes and student growth in information literacy skills from first year to junior year. The e-portfolio approach benefits faculty through better understanding student abilities, but not all students participate.
The NSSE monster: Scary creature or outreach opportunity?Alan Carbery
The document discusses the results of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) at Champlain College. It found that Champlain students reported completing assignments using information sources other than required readings less often than peers, but still not very often. Students also indicated that instructors somewhat emphasized questioning the quality of information sources. The document poses that these results indicate an opportunity to further engage faculty in having students think critically about information quality. It provides contact information for two library directors to continue the discussion.

Critical pedagogy: education in the practice of freedomAlan Carbery
Slides from a talk at the Vermont Library Association College & Special Libraries Conference, October 2015. Abstract: Our presentation focuses on the use of primary sources in library instruction to inspire students to think around issues of injustice and oppression. Following remarks on our chapter-in-progress for a book on Critical Library Instruction, the session will be devoted to introducing/discussing Critical Pedagogy and its influence on library instruction. Because Critical Pedagogy is dependent upon decentering the lecturer in favor of a participatory and community-driven style of learning, we hope this session can act as a forum for our colleagues to share ways in which they’ve incorporated facets of Critical Pedagogy into their instructional practice, ask questions about Critical Library Instruction, and offer any critiques they have of Critical Pedagogy/Critical Library Instruction. Delivered with Sean Leahy, Instruction & Learning Assessment Librarian, Champlain College.
This document discusses the joys and challenges of teaching. It notes that teaching can bring great joy when teachers and students discover new things together and push past obstacles, but can also be painful when classes feel lifeless, confusing, and out of the teacher's control. It encourages teachers to teach courageously and inquisitively with their whole hearts by growing as reflective practitioners and developing teaching philosophies to guide them.

Champlain College Assessment in Action Team:
Alan Carbery, Assistant Library Director; Ellen Zeman, Learning Assessment Director; Josh Blumberg, Director eLearning Production; Steve Wehmeyer, Assistant Professor, Core; with the Champlain College Library Teaching Librarian Team.
The rubric contains 4 stages of development.
We might expect students beginning their
information literacy journey (freshmen) to
perform at an Emerging Level. Sophomore
& Juniors might be expected to perform at the
Developing stage. We expect our Graduates
to reach Proficiency by graduation. Mastery
level may be considered a higher or
aspirational level.
When assessing, librarians used the Absent
grade when we expected students to
demonstrate that criterion, but evidence was
missing.
The Technology & Information Literacy Developmental Rubric contains
seven separate criteria – Identifies questions for investigation; selects
appropriate tools & strategies; critically evaluates & appraises information;
synthesizes information; attributes work ethically; practices safe & legal
approach to technology, and develops a self-learning approach to new &
emerging technologies.
Champlain’s Teaching Librarian team (7 librarians) devised, developed and normed the
developmental rubric for information literacy over a number of months in 2014/2015.
The developmental rubric is designed to be used as an assessment tool for any piece of
student work appropriate for demonstration of information literacy performance.

Main Findings
Students performed better than expected in selecting
appropriate strategies & tools to access information as well as
attribution.
There were a higher instances of lower performance in
identifying questions for investigation and synthesizing
information – which students appear to find more difficult.
The overall median grade for information literacy was
recorded at 1.4. No students achieved a grade 4 in any
criterion.
n=57, Average = 1.44, standard deviation = 0.55
All freshmen undergraduate students complete an annotated
bibliography as part of their COR 120 – Concepts of the Community
class. This annotated bibliography asks students to find a range of
sources on a chosen community type. This common assignment is
completed in the Spring semester and is uploaded to the College’s
eLearning & ePortfolio system.
With the College’s Learning Assessment Director, the library sampled a
set of annotated bibliographies from Class of 2017. After a small
number of artifacts were used for norming processes, the larger
sample was assessed by the Teaching Librarian Team using the
Developmental Rubric.
There were 57 artifacts assessed in total representing 10% of the Class
of 2017. Student names were redacted and each artifact was assigned a
key code prior to assessment, to allow for tracking in future assessment
efforts throughout their undergraduate studies. Librarians assessed the
first five criteria on the rubric with the annotated bibliography
After assessment; grades were manually entered into a spreadsheet for
analysis.

How can we build a longitudinal model of authentic
assessment of information literacy at Champlain College?
Champlain College is a small, private, professionally-focused liberal arts college with an enrollment of approximately
2000 undergraduate students, as well as continuing and graduate online students. The undergraduate student
experience is enhanced through an innovative interdisciplinary Core curriculum, which sits alongside students’ major
discipline studies. Technology & Information literacy is one of the college’s 9 college competencies for graduates.
Since its inception over 8 years ago, information literacy instruction is embedded throughout the Core curriculum in
a blended, scaffolded, sequential model of inquiry-based pedagogy. All undergraduate students receive
information literacy instruction 7 times throughout their studies, regardless of their major.
As part of their Core curriculum, students complete a number of common assignments that are uploaded to the
College’s ePortfolio in our College’s Learning Management System.
Next Steps
• Sample COR 310 Literature Review student research artifacts for Junior-level information literacy assessment
• Norm & revise the developmental rubric for this second wave of assessment
• Target & identify additional appropriate common assignments in sophomore and senior year for information literacy
assessment
• Target & identify academic division assessment artifacts beyond the Core program for discipline-specific information
literacy assessment
