This is a digital version of a paper poster... This is about the challenge to using data in an applied way to improve online teaching and learning...from both single data points and combined information.

• Wiki Pages: What are “course” vs. “group” wiki pages,
and how are these employed to enhance teaching?
Learning?

Using Large-Scale LMS Data Portal Data
to Improve
Teaching and Learning
at K-State
An LMS data portal contains select data about the
instance of the learning management system (in
this case, K-State Online, powered by Instructure’s
Canvas LMS).
• Course Availability Dates: How early prior to the start-
of-term are online courses available, and should more of
them be available sooner for learner orientation and
priming?
• Sections: What are use cases for restricted section
access based on defined dates? How important is it for
learners to select their own sections (via self-
enrollment) in respective learning sequences?
• Assignments: Ungraded assignments are used for
formative assessments to support learning. Should
these be used more often?
• Media creation assignments require higher-level and
collaborative skills of learners. Should these be
assigned more often?
• What time design elements should be applied to
online learning assignments, and which are most
effective in which contexts?
• Learner submissions may be human_graded or
auto_graded or not_graded: Which approach is the
most effective and in which learning contexts? How
many attempts are usually made on multi-attempt
assignments? Why?
• Quizzes: What is the average value of a quiz? What do
learners have to do for the earned grades?
• Grading: How quickly are grades assigned, and how
information-rich are the feedback types?
• Discussion Boards: What are the workflow states of
discussion boards, and which types (active or undefined)
are the most effective for teaching and learning?
• Language and Labeling: Is the language used in
assignments, in conversations (in-LMS emails), and other
spaces the right language to use for the teaching and
learning context?
