What are we assuming?
•   Clicking
•   Active vs passive choices
•   Learning vs. Interest – “What is there?”
•   Tool is ready to learn with and from
•   Obedience
•   Analytical tools readiness
What are we interpreting?
• Activity in some form…
  – Usage
  – Learning
• With some interpretation…
  – Inference
  – Assumptions
  – Hope
Analysis of Learning:
       What are we conceptualizing?
•   Positivist, deterministic
•   Intervention, Treatment
•   Complex
•   Dynamic
•   Co-influencing
•   Participatory, Proximal, Distal
•   Activity
•   Expertise
Transparency and Literacy
• Of data collection
• Of reporting the data back to user (faculty, student)
• Helping user (faculty, student) make sense of the
  data
Just “our” systems?
• Across institutional and personal web
  applications (Retalis et al, 2006)
  – Limited view of learning
  – Expanded view of learning

Editor's Notes

  • #4 Limited view of learning (e.g. discussion postings, sharing links)Expanded view of learning (e.g. students don’t use the LMS exclusively; learning happens across personal and institutional contexts)
  • #16 Educate students on where data obtained, how mined, how used. Also show them how it might be used to assess their own students (teachers), is changing EVBM (MDs), might change how Pts are treated (MDs),
