AbstractIf analytics are to be of any use to our teachers it needs to be: 1) accessible, 2) user friendly, and 3) extendable.

We will see how USQ is currently sharing data across systems to monitor student behaviours across courses and to enhance learning support: • RightNow-CRM system (AskUSQ)• Moodle (USQ StudyDesk)

We will look at how this can is being extended by:• Moodle engagement plugin • a USQ Data Warehouse


Three phase approach• In 2013/4 SAF funding (longer term vision)• Developed a 3 phase plan towards developing

learning analytics• Provide information in context when required

Phase 1

• Provide access to cross-course help data


• Details across three areas of RightNow


Phase 2

• Provide basic engagement analytics


• Activities identified to have impact on student success


• Extra information to explain


Phase 3• Is it enough to just cover the LMS and

help services?
