 How to Get Started or Expand Your Learning Analytics Program
Understanding learning analytics: Complexity
measurement
The simple act of
tracking things and
recording values. Can
be passively or
actively collected.
evaluation
The process of trying to
make meaning from the
data measured.
Descriptive analytics.
Does the data mean
something “good” or
“bad”?
advanced
evaluation
When data sets get large
enough we can use
advanced evaluation
techniques to discover
powerful insights. Data
mining, AI, machine
learning, etc.
predictive and
prescriptive
Make predictions and
decisions based on data
and advanced
algorithms.
Recommendations
engines are the best
example in learning.

Learning
Program
Understanding learning analytics: Categories
Understand an overall
learning program. Is this
initiative helping to meet
business objectives.
Understand a learner or group
of learners. Ensure
organizational readiness and
compliance.
Understand more about a
specific learning activity.
Maximize effectiveness and
spot problems.
The future in practice.
next generation
learning ecosystem
03connected to
outcomes
Learning outcomes on their own are
only marginally interesting. Incorporate
learning into larger business objectives
and bring the data together to show its
effectiveness.
02
mobile, social,
informal
Learning happens everywhere and now
we can track it. The constraints of old
are gone. Embrace the types of
learning that your learners want to use.
Provide resources in the moment of
need where the learners live.
01away from the LMS
How much of what you’ve learning in
your lifetime has come from an e-
learning course in an LMS? LMSs
aren’t going away, but it’s time for us to
recognize that learning happened
everywhere.
Visa University:
A new
ecosystem
A next generation learning
ecosystem brings this all
together.
This example from Visa
shows that the LMS is just
one small part of a modern
learning ecosystem.

Getting Started
yes you can!
01
Gather your data
Just start collecting data in a common
format in a central location. Make it low
friction and ensure you have access.
04
Explore your data
Starting to understand not just “what” is
happening but “why”. Form questions and
see if your data can answer them. Often the
best answer another question. Can you see
impacts on the larger business?
02
Get to know your data
Understand what you have. What is out
there, what is reliable and what is missing?
Do some simple evaluations and create
baselines.
05
Experiment with your data
Start a new learning program with analytics
in mind. Set up well controlled experiments
and A/B tests to validate a hypothesis.
Create a culture of continuous
improvement.
03
Operationalize your data
Automate your way out of “Excel hell”.
Define some interesting metrics and KPIs,
start monitoring them routinely. What trends
do you notice?
06
Show off your data
We’ve long known that learning is vital, not
we can probe it. Go forth and show the
world!

Editor's Notes

  • #2: Hi, I’m Mike I want to talk about big shifts and big opportunities in L&D that are happening Lots of new things are suddenly possible. Some big and lofty but also some big wins for small steps forward.
  • #4: So “what is scalable learning”? Scalable learning is not just learning new things that others know, but rather Creating and discovering new knowledge – this is more than just finding a new book to read Assessing its validity Rapidly disseminating it Ensuring it has a positive performance impact Discover -> Digest -> Distribute
  • #5: Is your LMS going to get you there? Fortunately there is a new generation of learning tools, models and ecosystems emerging Option – “is your learning org going to get you there”
  • #6: But the good news is, In an exponential world, small moves, smartly made can set big changes in motion Is this a better opening concept?
  • #9: Learning analytics is the big thing that’s now possible It’s not big and scary, many types of learning analytics that range from simple to complex
  • #11: It’s about attitude and strategy It’s learning’s turn to take a seat at the table To do so, we need to think strategically, we need to think in the same terms the business thinks in and align our strategy and outcomes to the strategy and outcomes of the business - often performance
  • #12: Let’s take a look at what happened to marketing over the past 20 years. You’ll see a lot of parallels to learning and a path forward for us. Learning depts refer to their audience as customers. And that makes so much sense.
  • #13: Marketing analogy Marketing went through this same transition over the past 20 years and we’re seeing the same thing happen in learning (summary of this article) More tools More data Missing piece is analytics
  • #15: xAPI is enabling this transition in learning, just like marketing It’s all about removing friction Removing just a little bit of friction has a big impact Apple design methodology Kirkpatrick model has been around since 1954, but how much of it are we using. Remember, when we asked people why they aren’t doing more learning analytics, one of the chief responses was “it’s too hard” That is changing, the friction is disappearing and that will have a profound impact.
  • #19: What does this look like in the real world
  • #20: There is a shift in the learning eco system New learning ecosystem (summary of this webinar) Can move away from the monolithic LMS LRS centric, mobile, social, informal, Removed constraints Connect to performance
  • #21: One of the first to deploy and publicize at enterprise scale is Visa Notice: -LMS is just one small part -Inclusion of non-learning tools Sharepoint and SurveyMonkey -Learning Experience platform as front end
  • #22: Applied is the world’s leading industrial distributor, operating at an annual revenue of nearly $3billion. Comprised of hundreds of distribution centers, every dot represents a small business with a manager and team To meet business targets, management needs to be competent on financial and sales acumen, which is why AIT invested $81 million to convert to a new ERP system to streamline reports and sales/operational accountabilities that were previously tracked manually by disparate systems. After successful SAP training and system implementation, many business KPIs dipped. SAP put a spotlight on operational metrics that were distilled into stoplight reports. But SCMs responsible for impacting results weren’t able to make improvements simply by seeing numbers on stoplight charts. Applied’s Organizational Learning (OL) department identified that SCMs could benefit from a better understanding of business insights, finance, and P&L concepts to see how their actions can directly impact financial statements
  • #23: Here’s why. Symptoms, does not point to the solution Once they got SAP, we focused on operations efficiency Revenue Gross Profit Operating Expense Billing Inventory Freight Processing Rebates What do you notice? Notice a lot of talented people at Applied If you don’t get your learning data aligned to business purpose, all your decision making is based on Intuition and hope. And, hope is not a methodology. Red = Failure ? Typical LMS style reporting – but only reflects LMS output Fluidity of Competency What does this do for leadership? Legitimized learning data Getting this done took a lot of excel work – V-Lookups, etc. What does it really tell us? Johnny did not complete some courses Background info (do not deliver this portion) A Group Should be running profitable locations. A+ group = best in class B Group Grasps financial concepts, but training and coaching needed on application of SOW. C Group Good practices, but may struggle with financial impacts of COGS and Ops expenses. Review P&L statement concepts with manager. D Group Needs the most help. Evaluate. Review webinars, coach on concepts and technique. Watch for improvement trends.
  • #24: VIDEO Not just big ROI, but little stories, with each visualization helping you to dig deeper. That’s the value of having everything in one, automated place.
  • #25: It’s important to develop skills during training before performing tasks in the real world. Real-world errors can have significant consequences. The organization needs to be confident of learner’s competency. Skills to be learnt are practical and physical.
  • #26: MedStar’s training program is made up of three main elements: The Learning Management System manages learner and organization data, and tracks a record of classroom training attended. A mobile app, called Zoll, allows clinicians to practice the steps involved in defibrillation on their own as often as they want to. In situ mock Code Blue simulations enable clinicians to practice resuscitating a medical dummy as a team.
  • #30: Wrap up and Q&A
