Swinburne is piloting a learning analytics program in semester 2 of 2016 to help improve student retention, success, and provide feedback to teachers. The pilot will involve training around 20 units on learning analytics and conducting four interventions throughout the semester - ensuring student engagement with the online learning system, contacting students who failed initial assessments, professional development for staff on analytics reports, and a reflective exercise for staff on applying learning analytics to their units.
