The Open University The LAK15 theme “shifts the focus from data to impact”, noting the potential for Learning Analytics based on existing technologies to have scalable impact on learning for people of all ages. For such demand and potential in scalability to be met the challenges of addressing higher-order thinking skills should be addressed. This paper discuses one such approach – the creation of an analytic and task model to probe epistemic cognition in complex literacy tasks. The research uses existing technologies in novel ways to build a conceptually grounded model of trace-indicators for epistemic-commitments in information seeking behaviors. We argue that such an evidence centered approach is fundamental to realizing the potential of analytics, which should maintain a strong association with learning theory.

OU Analyse | Knowledge Media Institute | The Open University OU Analyse is a system powered by machine learning methods for early identification of students at risk of failing. All students with their risk of failure in their next assignment are updated weekly and made available to the course tutors and the Student Support Teams to consider appropriate support. The overall objective is to significantly improve the retention of OU students.

experts & learners have different expectations of knowledge & this relates to their #mooc behaviour #lak15

Learning analytics 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.[1] The growth of online learning since the 1990s, particularly in higher education, has contributed to the advancement of Learning Analytics as student data can be captured and made available for analysis.[2][3][4] When learners use an LMS, social media, or similar online tools, their clicks, navigation patterns, time on task, social networks, information flow, and concept development through discussions can be tracked. The rapid development of massive open online courses (MOOCs) offers additional data for researchers to evaluate teaching and learning in online environments.[5]

Yes! MT @cab938 annual #lak15 call to update the #learninganalytics wikipedia article:

Developing a learning analytics strategy involves structural, socio political and emerging (or change & in no innovation) complexity #lak15

learning analytics shouldn't discriminate against already disenfranchised or marginalised students @SharonSlade #lak15

who benefits from #LearningAnalytics, what risks are there in labelling or categorising students #lak15

#lak15 OU policy and strategy for ethics in #LearningAnalytics from @SharonSlade

#lak15 shift in themes from students at risk & performance to #moocs, #discourse and text analytics ( #dcla)

At #lak15 kicking off #lak15time with a great presentation on temporality & learning data from @alywise :-)

Arrived in Poughkeepsie for #lak15 and #lak15time workshop - dinner tips (walkable?...w/good beer) welcome :D
