In education today, technology alone doesn't always lead to
immediate success for students or institutions. In order to gauge
the efficacy of educational technology, we need ways to measure the
efficacy of educational practices in their own right. Through a
better understanding of how learning takes place, we may work
toward establishing best practices for students, educators, and
institutions. These goals can be accomplished with learning
analytics.
"Learning Analytics: From Research to Practice "updates this
emerging field with the latest in theories, findings, strategies,
and tools from across education and technological disciplines.
Guiding readers through preparation, design, and examples of
implementation, this pioneering reference clarifies LA methods as
not mere data collection but sophisticated, systems-based analysis
with practical applicability inside the classroom and in the larger
world.
Case studies illustrate applications of LA throughout academic
settings (e.g., intervention, advisement, technology design), and
their resulting impact on pedagogy and learning. The goal is to
bring greater efficiency and deeper engagement to individual
students, learning communities, and educators, as chapters show
diverse uses of learning analytics to:
Enhance student and faculty performance.Improve student
understanding of course material.Assess and attend to the needs of
struggling learners.Improve accuracy in grading.Allow instructors
to assess and develop their own strengths.Encourage more efficient
use of resources at the institutional level.
Researchers and practitioners in educational technology, IT, and
the learning sciences will hail the information in "Learning
Analytics: From Research to Practice "as a springboard to new
levels of student, instructor, and institutional success.
