Domain: Featured Speaker
The road ahead is set to include increasing use of blended learning, mobile learning, gaming, personal learning networks, augmented reality, and much more. If we want these technology "power tools" to have a real and lasting impact on the challenges of college completion, however, anchoring these efforts in on-target analytics that serve not only policy but also core practice—especially at the learning moment—will be essential. Come join your colleagues as we explore how to catalyze this conversation.

RT @derekbruff: Ppl in the top half of US incomes who go to college are 60-70% likely to finish. Only 9-15% for those in the bottom half. #edu11 #e11_FS07
(Mental note: Blog about "A New Culture of Learning" by John Seely Brown & Douglas Thomas.) #edu11 #e11_fs07
Me: What games can teach us about student learning is more or less what cognitive science has already told us. #edu11 #e11_fs07
What about a WordPress plugin that does some text analysis on student posts? What might that tell us? #edu11 #e11_fs07
And that reminds me of @sidneyeve's use of blogs. Students blog, comment, like. The blog platform generates *some* analytics. #edu #e11_fs07
RT @derekbruff: .@markmilliron recommending recent article on analytics by Siemens & Long, "Penetrating the Fog," http://t.co/UNz0eqRK. #edu11 #e11_fs07
How can we make those "thin slices" more visible (and thus capable of being analyzed) in natural, seemless ways. #edu11 #e11_fs07
I'm also reminded of Randy Bass' idea of "thin slices" of student learning & making those "thin slices" more visible. #edu #e11_fs07
RT @derekbruff: This is one reason I like clickers. They generate granular data about student learning for use by those students. #edu11 #e11_fs07
RT @derekbruff: .@markmilliron: Key question: "Can you use information about me... to help me?" That's what Amazon, Netflix, etc., do. #edu11 #e11_fs07
