Learning Analytics: What does it mean for academic developers?
Thursday 21st November 2019
Bea Orpen Building, Dublin City University (DCU)
10:30am-1pm
All of us working in higher education have heard frequently about learning analytics in recent years.
But what does this new area of practice and research mean for academic developers? What do we need to know in order to help our academic colleagues and enhance student learning? How do we make sense of the new data coming our way?
At this workshop, Dr Pauline Rooney and Dr Geraldine Gray of TU Dublin will guide us through recent developments in learning analytics and how we can draw usefully on this work in educational development. In particular, the current DALTAI Project (funded by the National Forum) has provided exciting new insights into how and why we can use learning analytics.
Pauline and Geraldine will share this work with us during the morning, and our aim is to enable all participants to leave with some new knowledge and awareness of how academic practice can be enhanced through appropriate engagement with analytics.
