Learning Analytics Tools
1 like1,289 views
The document discusses learning analytic tools for massive open online courses (MOOCs). It introduces the motivation for such tools given ubiquitous learning environments and large online resources. It then provides background on MOOCs and learning analytics, focusing on capturing learner activity traces to improve learning. The implementation section describes a learning analytics cockpit dashboard that visualizes various metrics on activity, resources accessed, and mouse interactions. An evaluation of the tool in a MOOC found it helped define activity, bridge information gaps, and support data literacy to motivate course improvement.
