Editor's Notes

  1. Please copy, adapt, photograph, video. Tell your friends!
  2. Hendrik Drachsler, Niall Sclater
  3. Learning analytics is on the Internet and the Internet has cats Data mining, business intelligence, academic analytics, learner analytics – focus here is on the learning, not the management and administration of learning
  4. Big Data in education More learning online. More sensors making offline, online.
  5. Many definitions. Slippery. I like ‘Changed capacity to act.’
  6. Stanford, Paulo Blikstein’s lab
  7. Laser cutter Followed instructions on the sheet Load the shape file, change, load plastic in to machine, cut shapes. Glue.
  8. Sensors: temperature, sound, light. Outputs: motors, LEDs, display Program board to control. Three groups. Input a signal, output a signal.
  9. Train – assess output, learned to use laser cutter. Balloon – harder. Softer skills. But multimodal data. Two visions of learning.
  10. Train learning
  11. If we’re making our lives easier, teachers’ lives easier, use the space for better learning
  12. If we’re making our lives easier, teachers’ lives easier, use the space for better learning
  13. Balloon learning
  14. Balloon learning
  15. Balloon learning
  16. Neither is better
  17. Robots are taking our jobs!
  18. There are loads of studies/papers/arguments that robots will take our jobs. Not just assembly line workers.
  19. What is hard to automate? Soc intel: dishwasher vs PR Creativity: legal clerk vs biologist Manipulation: telesales vs surgeon
  20. Balloon view is the future. Train is the pressure now. Must do it, so do it. But look up! Make space.
  21. Promised you some examples!
  22. Promised you some examples!
  23. Your school will have software with dashboards, with VLE/LMS data. Get hold of it! Dashboard as a metaphor
  24. Class 142 cab. Very simple
  25. Concorde cockpit. Much harder. Engineer’s block to the right. Don’t use the data just because you have it. Look out of the window!
  26. Don’t just use the data you’re given
  27. Cohort dispositional analytics. Building critical self-awareness. Correlations with success measures, but complex relationship. Learning power goes down over time in school!
  28. Do not reply. Computer. Will fail. Self-fulfilling. Have seen worse! At least it’s clear what it’s saying.
  29. Human relationship You are monitored vs I noticed
  30. M4 motorway – share your data with students
  31. Big thanks in small fonts
  32. Do both. Train and balloon.
  33. )
  34. This is Google’s self-driving car! If you can automate it, automate it, and use the time for balloon learning. Computer programming.
  35. M4 is a motorway that goes from London, England, all the way to South West Wales. Wales is a different country from England. Separate, like Scotland. Roads are managed by a different organisation. In England, surveillance. Who is looking at me? Why are they looking at me?
  36. In England, surveillance. Who is looking at me? Why are they looking at me? In Wales, cameras visible online. I can see when a junction is busy. Now I feel sorry for the person who has to watch all these cameras for traffic jams. Transparency helps. And Traffic England have now done the same!
