Keynote APT 2018 The power of learning analytics for teaching and academic de...Bart Rienties
Across the globe many educational institutions are collecting vast amounts of small and big data about students and their learning behaviour, such as their class attendance, online activities, or assessment scores. As a result, the emerging field of Learning Analytics is exploring how data can be used to empower teachers and institutions to effectively support learners. The way teachers design learning and teaching practices have a substantial impact how our students are engaging in- and outside class. Recent research within the Institute of Educational Technology has found that 69% of how students learn on a weekly basis is determined by what we as teachers design and teach. Furthermore, how teachers are using learning analytics data significantly can help to support students, but what if teachers do not want or are able to embrace big data? In this APT2018 keynote, based upon 6 years of experience with LA data and large-scale implementations amongst 450000+ students and 400+ teachers at a range of contexts, I will use an interactive format to discuss and debate three major questions: 1) To what extent is learning analytics the new holy grail of learning and teaching? 2) How can learning design be optimised using the principles of learning analytics?; 3) How should institutions provide academic development opportunities to learn to embrace the affordances and limitations of learning analytics?

The power of learning analytics to unpack learning and teaching: a critical p...Bart Rienties
Across the globe institutions are exploring the opportunities technology affords to provide a better,
more consistent, and more personalised service to their students and stakeholders In particular, the
development of learning analytics may empower distance learning institutions to provide near realtime
actionable feedback to teachers and students about what the “best” next step in their learning
journeys might be. For example, several institutions have started to explore the use of learning
analytics dashboards that can display learner and learning behaviour to teachers and instructional
designers in order to provide more real-time, or just-in-time support for students. Learning analytics
might provide opportunities for (semi-) automatic personalisation as well as increased flexibility of
online provision, while at the same time potentially benefiting from efficiency and retention gains
when providing education at scale. Nonetheless, there are several critics towards this learning
analytics and data-centred movement. Some critics tend to focus on the perceived dilution of the
role of the human teacher as a provider of the personal support role to (semi-) automated support
provisions. In this BERA keynote, I aim to provide a balanced perspectives of the affordances and
limitations of learning analytics

trainees. The study was conducted on forty male and female teacher trainees. The study was intervention study
where pre post experimental control group design was carried out. The data were analyzed through factorial
ANCOVA. The finding revealed that there was a significant effect of interaction between ITP, gender and
problem solving skills when pre problem solving scores as co variate.
The Project Based Learning (PjBL) Toolkit: Integrating digital and social med...Sue Beckingham
Projects may be carried out by both individuals and within groups. The outputs might include a report, presentation, poster, artefact or prototype (physical or digital). Project based learning is “a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge.” (BIE 2015).
When undertaking a project, seven distinct stages have been identified that the project owner(s) go through. These are: the question, plan, research, produce, improve, present and evaluate. At each stage students may engage in a variety of activities. This multifaceted form of learning presents opportunities to participate in authentic and meaningful problems and to develop a range of skills along the journey. Reflecting upon these experiences, can encourage students to reconstruct what they have learned, and go on to confidently articulate the skills they have developed (or have yet to develop), and how they can apply these in other situations. Learning how to self-reflect on these experiences and developing a habit of doing so, can have a profound impact on learning. However for some this does not come easily and is often undervalued.
In my talk I will share the Project Based Learning (PjBL) Toolkit and how resources within this can be used to scaffold effective and meaningful multimedia reflective practice, develop confident communication skills and digital capabilities.

The present document compiled by the students of Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) , Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalya, Haridwar.The purpose is to let the students know more about it.
1. Bachelor of Computer Applications
Saturday Activities (IIAs Interactive and innovate activities for imparting soft skills as well as hard skills through the means of edutainment)are specially planned for developing the soft skills and life skills of the students along with the hard skills they are getting through their studies.
Sociometry Test conducted with a view point of identifying the peer groups of students. Aim was to make small groups of students in which they can solve each other’s problem and can help each other to grow together. These small groups will have their own peer group mentor who is responsible for helping the group to grow.
No Absentees initiative was taken to solve out the problem of reducing the absent level of students even up to zero.
Internal Marks Assessment and Analysis is an initiative where teachers of all papers sit together with student not only to help them rather to provide them solutions for further improvement.
5 o’clock elite group an initiative by the students to make their routine better by themselves. A group of students are doing group studies after morning exercises by themselves only.
Cybershiksha is a unique plan through which few students trained the module of basic computer education to the students of tribal areas of chattisghar for 30 days. Even these students hadn’t gone to their homes for this work. The spirit of students is worth appreciable.
Sulekh was an initiative which came just after the analysis of internal marks that students need to improve in writing so it was organized in order to improve the writing.
Resume workshop was an initiative by the students to learn by themselves as how they can move steps ahead in making effective resume. It works a three hour session with ended with resumes in every ones hand and lot of lessons related with it.
Tell me about yourself is a basic question which is asked to every one whosoever appear for an job interview which going for placements. This basic question and its answers were rehearsed by the students separately and effectively.
Prevision using notesization of DBMS is a common team work initiative for co-operational approach of knowledge gathering where every student participated for prevision means they studies the topics themselves before they were supposed to taught in class. Even they are ready with notes.
Emerging trends awareness campaign is a presentation series through which students got to know about emerging trends and research and development in the field of computer science.
Technology in Use is the medium in which through group discussion and survey among each other they finally go to know all the ways to avail technology for their life and uses.
2. SEA (Self Evaluation Analysis) was a survey prepared by students for self-assessment. Through this they assessed themselves by themselves and now are working on areas of improvements.
CLT (Computer Literacy Test) was a plan through which the level of computer literacy was checked for initial classes students.
