“Academic Analytics”
• Refers to a collective set of “business intelligence” activities to support the mission of the institution
• Includes:– Data warehousing– Reporting– Predictive modeling
• Modeling is based on program and population specific factors designed to improve:
– Retention– Performance

What Do We Need For Learning Analytics?

Defined Metrics
Business Rules
Derived Information
Where to Begin?
• Will data REALLY optimize educational experience?
• Uncertainty about where to start• No established industry best practice about what to measure
• No established industry best practice around methodology
• Organizational Culture, Learning Culture and Status Quo
• Enterprise concern about what the data will show
• Competing priorities and lack of incentive for collaboration between different groups
• Siloed data across the enterprise sure doesn’t help

Questions
• Are students engaged in their courses?
• How does level of activity influence grades?
• Can we identify and interact with “at-risk” students before they fail?
• Can we motivate students through comparison?
• What are the correlations between use of certain LMS tools and student success?
• Are we meeting our adoption goals?
