The document outlines an action plan for implementing learning analytics, emphasizing its role in measuring and optimizing the learning process across educational sectors. Key focus areas include policy leadership, institutional governance, collaboration, teaching practices, quality assurance, capacity building, and infrastructure development. The goal is to enhance education in Europe through effective use of learning analytics while considering ethical standards and technological interoperability.
Learning analytics action plan
- 1. Rebecca Ferguson, The Open University, UK BETT, January 2017 Learning analytics: an action plan
- 2. 2 Learning analytics The measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs. solaresearch.org
- 3. Learning analytics help us to identify and make sense of patterns in the data to improve our teaching, our learning and our learning environments
- 5. Priority areas for education and training 5 • Bringing together different sectors: higher education, schools & workplace learning • Building enduring networks • Helping to develop learning analytics capability • Creating and sharing resources • Developing visions of the future and agreeing how to work towards them www.laceproject.eu
- 6. LAEP: learning analytics for European educational policy 6 • What is the current state of the art? • What are the prospects for the implementation of learning analytics? • What is the potential for European policy to be used to guide and support the take-up and adaptation of learning analytics to enhance education in Europe? http://bit.ly/2jLfx9p
- 8. Action plan for learning analytics Policy leadership and governance Institutional leadership and governance Collaboration and networking Teaching and learning Quality assessment and assurance Capacity building Infrastructure
- 9. 9 Policy leadership and governance • Develop common visions of learning analytics that address strategic objectives and priorities • Develop a roadmap for learning analytics • Align learning analytics work with different sectors • Develop frameworks that enable development of analytics • Assign responsibility for development of learning analytics • Continuously work on reaching common understanding and developing new priorities
- 10. 10 http://bit.ly/2iMIVai Institutional leadership • Create organisational structures to support use of learning analytics and help educational leaders to implement these changes • Develop practices that are appropriate to different contexts • Develop and employ ethical standards, including data protection
- 11. 11 Collaboration and networking ●Identify and build on work in related areas and other countries ●Engage stakeholders throughout the process to create learning analytics that have useful features ●Support collaboration with commercial organisations http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloudscape/view/2965

Editor's Notes
- #2: Introduction If you have attended the Learning Ananlytics Summer Institute (LASI Asia) this week, some of the early slides here will look familiar, but I am going to focus here much more on actions to be taken
- #3: Definition of learning analytics from the Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR)
- #4: A rephrasing of that definition
- #5: Introduction to The Open University, to the Learning Analytics Community Exchange (LACE) project and to the Learning Analytics for European Educational Policy (LAEP) project.
- #6: The Learning Analytics Community Exchange (LACE) project in Europe has been thinking about the future of learning analytics – which futures we want to work towards and which we want to avoid. To investigate this, we have carried out a Policy Delphi, a form of research designed to elicit a range of exert views on a topic. In this case, we developed eight provocations or visions of the future of learning analytics. Using a survey, we shared these with experts and practitioners around the world and asked them to comment on at least two visions in terms of desirability, feasibility, and actions that would need to be taken.
- #8: The Policy Delphi study enabled us to talk about where learning analytics are heading, but did not go into t lot of detail about what should be done. So, in parallel with this, we ran the LAEP project, funded by the Joint Research Centre in Seville, Spain. This looked at how Europe as a whole should move forward on learning analytics. To investigate this, we carried out a literature review, and we developed an inventory of learning analytics practices (see URL on slide), we carried out a set of in-depth case studies, and we convened an expert workshop
- #9: From this we came up with a seven-point plan for Action on Analytics in Europe
- #10: Work needed on strategy
- #11: Work needed on research and development
- #12: Work needed on infrastructure
- #13: Work needed on context
- #14: Work needed on standards
- #15: Work needed on skills
- #16: Work needed on outreach
- #17: And, across the world, we need to stay connected via different organisations and events
- #18: Slides are available on Slideshare
