Editor's Notes
- In 2010, another economist, Phil Mizzi, and I asked what would happen if HE applied choice architecture to learning, through the possibilities of data? What if we used the data found in student experiences to nudge students to better performance?
- Purdue’s Course Signals taps into Blackboard data for a student in a course, and displays a green, red or yellow signal to inform the student on how they are doing based on time on task, grades and in historical comparison to others with this profile.
- We have an opportunity to change practice by tapping into data: dynamic course data, student performance data, issues and trends data.
- We have an opportunity to reach our students in new ways. To enhance learning. Technology changed rapidly, changed us rapidly. It fits in our pockets, its omnipresent and we could use it to improve the student experience.
- We know that our students, the new traditional – working, perhaps a parent, single parent, first generation, older, tired…needs a better safety net to persist to graduation. Can nudges help keep them on task?
- They also benefit from the personal closeness associated with social activity via their mobile device.
- Specialized texts, tailored to the first year experience, with personalized outreach and customized responses.
- ALL campuses are using the LMS, but not in rich and pedagogically thoughtful ways. At UWT, we have Canvas. Another digital space that the learner inhabits. We began to ask where could we use nudges to encourage and support the learner to better results? We noted that two previous LMS had built some smart options for nudging students into their systems. Purdue Signals is built on BB data, but PRACTICE in use is low or missing. Angel early on looked to personalized learner reporting. Research on use or value is unclear.
- Can Canvas, and the Canvas community, change that? Can we determine and share good practice for nudging students to success?
- Canvas makes personalized outreach simple for the instructor.
- It takes only a moment to send a message, that the student receives in their personal inbox.
- Easily track student and class performance
- Set assignments and assessments to measure specific outcomes and an outcome across the course experience.
- We think that collectively, we can share ideas, hidden features, language, tools, to make personalized outreach an effective approach to student engagement and retention. We don’t want to manage learning. We want to rock its foundation.
