This presentation discusses:
- Online Learning communities
- A particular learning community that we built
- How that learning community was used
A lot of the principles, problems and lessons apply to any learning community, whether you create it in your VLE, on facebook, on Ning or just on a blog or a wiki. Whatever technology you use, there are principles here that you should be able to apply.
Probably, most importantly, this is about building a learning community that works. Because, in many cases, they don't.
Creating an action plan for learning analyticsDoug Clow
Slides for a talk at Bett 2015, London, on Friday 23 January at Excel.
Learning analytics has great potential. By using data more effectively, we can understand and improve learning and the learning environment. Trail-blazing projects, exciting demonstrations and earnest strategy papers set out a compelling vision for data in HE.
That vision can sometimes seem far from institutional reality. How can we get some of those benefits for our learners?
This interactive workshop will help participants assess their institution’s current capability for making use of learning analytics, and help them plan for action. The facilitators will draw on a wide range of practical experience, including from the pan-European Learning Analytics Community Exchange project.
