A Learning Analytics Approach to Academic Assessment

Higher education institutions collect student data through many channels: student information systems, learning management systems, e-portfolios, and more. Analyzing this data effectively is critical. We will explore several techniques to analyze and assess data, which provides critical insights into student performance. We'll show you how to utilize technology to view a snapshot into performance at the course level, program level, or institution level based on student learning outcomes. See how to identify emerging trends and potential issues. Learn how to catalog evidence to aid in accreditation. Figure out how to utilize data in key decision making. Enhance the learning environment for your institution.

OUTCOMES:
Determine how existing technology can be leveraged to examine student learning at the various levels * Evaluate collection and analysis tools used in reporting student learning trends and student performance over time based on the student learning outcomes * Identify systems where these tools are already available and who would most benefit from using them
