Different Perspectives on Learning Analytics
It’s the first day of the ELI 2012 Online Spring Focus Session. The Full Program Agenda promises several different perspectives:
- Sensemaking – social cognitive processes (George Siemens, Associate Director, Technology Enhanced Knowledge Research Institute)
- Course Design and Student Support Services (Byron R. Roush, Manager of Instructional Services, The Ohio State University)
- Student Retention and Success (Russell Little, Manager, Web Systems, Sinclair Community College)
- Effective Teaching Practices (John Fritz, AVP, Instructional Technology & New Media, University of Maryland, Baltimore County)
- Strategic Decision-Making (Thomas Cavanagh, Charles D. Dziuban, University of Central Florida)
- Ethics and Privacy Issues (John P. Campbell, AVP Information Technology Academic Technologies, Purdue University)
As you can see, there’s also a diverse and respected group of presenters … and this is just Day 1! Don’t forget to “drill-down” for the resources for each session. For example, here are the slides for “Sensemaking: Beyond Analytics.”
