7. Learning Analytics is about
collecting traces
that learners leave behind
and using those traces
to improve learning.

8. as learning moves on-line
we collect many more traces

9. access to learning resources
posts in discussion fora
logins to learning management systems
posts of assignments
replies to posts
votes in lecture response systems
time on page in electronic textbook
location of device used to access course
(and thus proximity to other users)
software lines produced
contributions to shared documents or wikis
…
who, when, where …

42. • One of the problems of early Learning Analytics is a lack of
computational information about pedagogical structure
!
• Runs the risk of using “big data” analysis to “re-discover” the
teacher’s lesson plan
– They could have just told you!

43. also
learning science
as a data driven science?
!
and MOOC=Big Data?
