This document discusses using learning analytics to encourage students to complete pre-class preparation assignments and materials. It proposes tracking various engagement metrics like views of online content, posts and responses on discussion platforms, and checkpoint submissions. This data could be analyzed as a whole for the cohort to see popular resources, and individually to understand each student's usage. The analytics would inform faculty actions like sending reminders, reorganizing content, and customizing learning paths. The goal is to align learning analytics with learning design to improve pedagogical approaches.
