Methodology of the course: One of the critical literacies in a digital networked era-the ability to navigate and make sense of what is going on in distributed settings.
In the course, most are now able to have tolerance of ambiguity, and understand that learners control their learning, learning is around other learners, distributed,learners control their space of learning.
twitter, the daily(aggregates blogs, twitter, etc.) Now we all know there is a boundary-less structure.
Three weeks of discussion--what is LA, big data, society is more complex, how do we make sense of it.
First week: We need to use our human cognition to navigate the distributed nature of data. Huge surge of interest in big data, stats, AI. We begin to look at a hybrid human cognition model as data is too overwhelming in our modern world.
Second week: Started to look at what analytics are-business intelligence, educational data mining community. Hard to come to a definitive definition of what LA are. Looking at the data that learners generate-the trail that can be measured and analyzed to personalize adapt the learning for the individual. holistic
Third week: Cases and examples of analytics
universities, John Campbell and SIGNALS at Purdue, Rio Silato, what are the factors that improve or influence learner success? Much is centered now on the online experience. At this stage, much of LA occurs online because that is the data trail that is left.
Week Four: Semantic Data Link Data (course turn) intelligent curriculum
Not just evaluating what students are doing, but what the curriculum changes in response to what the students are doing. Dragan. Develop the knowledge architecture of different fields--each student receives their own course.
Remaining course presentations/discussions:
Ethics-what can we and what should we do? Practicalities-tools and techniques, opportunity to play around with analytics approaches and tools. systems and course level
Last two weeks- concept paper around Open Learning Analutocs-what shouild LA serve for a researcher - SoLAR -
