Description
Several different teams of researchers and designers are piloting different learning analytics-based approaches to informing teaching and learning at the University of Michigan. In this session, we will present current findings and designs for translating user-level Sakai CLE activities into actionable information displays for academic advisors, instructors, and students.
The advisor displays have been used since Fall 2011 as part of an early warning system deployed within an undergraduate engineering mentoring program. The instructor displays were piloted with four faculty members in Winter 2012 and will inform a full-scale development effort. Student displays are in a pre-pilot design phase. We will discuss how these efforts align with similar projects at Michigan and how other institutions can build upon our approach. We will also elaborate on the importance of learning analytics-based interventions developed for higher education and beyond.
