Applied learning analytics for modular content

The document discusses using learning analytics to track student engagement with course material from initial attention and bookmarking, through note taking and highlighting, to reflection, commentary, and real-world application after class. It proposes separate, modular blog posts where students can publicly post quotes, notes, assignments, and discussion points that demonstrate how they are incorporating and applying key ideas from the material. The goal is to make visible how students are transforming, integrating, and applying the content in real world practice and promote transfer of learning.
