This document summarizes findings from a two-year study on lifelong learning conducted by Project Information Literacy. The study surveyed over 1,600 university graduates and found that:
1) Graduates were surprised by how much constant learning was required after university for personal, work, and community needs.
2) Graduates relied heavily on search engines for information, but also turned to friends and family almost as much.
3) Critical thinking skills developed in university were often transferable after graduation, though some skills like questioning needed more development.
The presentation recommends better preparing graduates for lifelong learning through information literacy interventions in higher education, public libraries, and K-12 curriculum.

Learning Analytics: What is it? Why do it? And how?Timothy Harfield
Presentation delivered to graduate students at Emory University as part of a TATTO (Teaching Assistant Training and Teaching Opportunity) brown bag session.
ABSTRACT
Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs. Data driven approaches to teaching and learning are rapidly being adopted within educational environments, but there is still much confusion about what learning analytics is, what it can do, and how it is best employed.
This talk will provide a general overview of the field of learning analytics, its terminology and methods, as well as contemporary ethical debates. It will also introduce several open source and Emory-supported analytics tools available to students and instructors to facilitate the achievement of various learning outcomes.

As the use of blended learning environments and digital technologies become integrated into the higher education sector, rich technologies such as analytics have the ability to assist teaching staff identify students at risk, learning material that is not proving effective and learning site designs that aid and facilitate improved learning. More recently consideration has been given to automated essay scoring. Such systems can be used in a formative way, such as providing feedback on initial assignment drafts or summatively through the analysis of final assignment submissions. Further, providing students with quick feedback on written assignments opens the opportunity through formative feedback to improved learning outcomes.
This presentation details a current project developing a system to analyse text-based assignments. The project is being developed for broad application, but the findings focus on an undergraduate pilot subject: ‘Ideas that Shook the World’ (a compulsory first year Bachelor of Arts subject taught on 5 campuses to more than 1000 students by 15 staff). Preliminary results of a fist scan of assignments are presented and the issues raised in developing the system presented together with an outline of additional work planned for the project. It is believed the work will have wide application where text-based assignments are utilised for assessment.

Open Learning Analytics panel at Open Education Conference 2014Stian Håklev
The past five years have seen a dramatic growth in interest in the emerging field of Learning Analytics (LA), and particularly in the potential the field holds to address major challenges facing education. However, much of the work in the learning analytics landscape today is closed in nature, small in scale, tool- or software-centric, and relatively disconnected from other LA initiatives. This lack of collaboration, openness, and system integration often leads to fragmentation where learning data cannot be aggregated across different sources, institutions only have the option to implement "closed" systems, and cross disciplinary research opportunities are limited. Beyond the immediate concerns this fragmentation creates for educators and learners, a closed approach dramatically limits our ability to build upon successes, learn from failures and move beyond the "pockets of excellence (and failures)? approach that typifies much of the educational technology landscape.
The potential benefits of openness as a core value within the learning analytics community are numerous. Learning initiatives could be informed by large scale research projects. Open-source software, such as dashboards and analytics engines, could be available free of licensing costs and easily enhanced by others, and OERs could become more personalized to match learners' needs. Open data sets and reproducible papers could rapidly spread understanding of analytical approaches, enabling secondary analysis and comparison across research projects. To realize this future, leaders within the learning analytics, open technologies (software, standards, etc.), open research (open data, open predictive models, etc.) and open learning (OER, MOOCs, etc.) fields have established a "network of practice" aimed at connecting subject matter experts, projects, organizations and companies working in these domains. As an initial organizing event, these leaders organized an Open Learning Analytics (OLA) Summit directly following the 2014 Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) conference this past March as means to further the goal of establishing "openness' as a core value of the larger learning analytics movement. Additional details on the Summit and those involved can be found at: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2014/04/prweb11754343.htm.
This panel session will bring together several thought leaders from the Open Learning Analytics community who participated in the Summit to facilitate an interactive dialog with attendees on the intersection of learning analytics and open learning, open technologies, open data, and open research. The presenters represent a broad range of experience with institutional analytics projects, an open source development consortium, the sharing of open learner data, and academic research on open learning environments.

Students' Acceptance of Blackboard as an LMS - Dr. Lee Kar Ling - INTI Intern...Blackboard APAC
The main focus of the presentation is to provide empirical information to support the students' acceptance of Blackboard as an LMS (Learning Management System) to help students to learn better. INTI International University has been using Blackboard to promote and strengthen Blended Learning, and has faced extensive resistance from both students and academic staff at its inception. However, the research now shows that students are increasingly adopting Blackboard as an LMS and are picking up the needed skills for more effective Blended Learning. Although there are still challenges ahead for the University, the Positiveness displayed is most encouraging, and we will continue to strive to make Blended Learning via the employ of Blackboard as the LMS a norm.
State and Directions of Learning Analytics Adoption (Second edition)Dragan Gasevic
The analysis of data collected from user interactions with educational and information technology has attracted much attention as a promising approach for advancing our understanding of the learning process. This promise motivated the emergence of the new field learning analytics and mobilized the education sector to embrace the use of data for decision-making. This talk will first introduce the field of learning analytics and touch on lessons learned from some well-known case studies. The talk will then identify critical challenges that require immediate attention in order for learning analytics to make a sustainable impact on learning, teaching, and decision making. The talk will conclude by discussing a set of milestones selected as critical for the maturation of the field of learning analytics. The most important take away from the talk will be that
- systemic approaches to the development and adoption of learning analytics are critical,
- multidisciplinary teams are necessary to unlock a full potential of learning analytics, and
- capacity development at institutional levels through the inclusion of diverse stakeholders is essential for full learning analytics adoption.
This is the second edition of the talk that previously gave under the same title on several occasions. The second edition reflects many developments happened in the field of learning analytics, especially those in the following two projects - http://he-analytics.com and http://sheilaproject.eu.

A Systematic Analysis And Synthesis of the Empirical MOOC Literature Publishe...George Veletsianos
A deluge of empirical research became available on MOOCs in 2013-2015 and this research is available in disparate sources. This paper addresses a number of gaps in the scholarly understanding of MOOCs and presents a comprehensive picture of the literature by examining the geographic distribution, publication outlets, citations, data collection and analysis methods, and research strands of empirical research focusing on MOOCs during this time period. Results demonstrate that: more than 80% of this literature is published by individuals whose home institutions are in North America and Europe; a select few papers are widely cited while nearly half of the papers are cited zero times; and researchers have favored a quantitative if not positivist approach to the conduct of MOOC research, preferring the collection of data via surveys and automated methods. While some interpretive research was conducted on MOOCs in this time period, it was often basic and only a handful of studies were informed by methods traditionally associated with qualitative research (e.g., interviews, observations, focus groups). Analysis shows that there is limited research reported on instructor-related topics, and that even though researchers have attempted to identify and classify learners into various groupings, very little research examines the experiences of learner subpopulations.

Learning Analytics: Seeking new insights from educational dataAndrew Deacon
CPUT Fundani TWT - 22 May 2014
Analytics is a buzzword that encompasses the analysis and visualisation of big data. Current interest results from the growing access to data and the many software tools now available to analyse this data in Higher Education, through platforms such as Learning Management Systems. This seminar provides an overview of current applications and uses of learning analytics and how it can help institutions of learning better support their learners. The illustrative examples look at institutional and social media data that together provide rich insights into institutional, teaching and learning issues. A few simple ways to perform such analytics in a context of Higher Education will be introduced.
