讲座内容简介:
The presentation is on on-going institutional wide learning analytic project. The project investigates the requirements, research issues, and system development for learning analytics, which uses big datasets in education to model and analyse the behavior, activities and practices of learning and teaching of students and lecturers. Different data sources are collected, managed, processed and analysed. These data sources include AS eStudent, Library, student survey systems, and on-line learning management platforms like Blackboard and EdX. The analytics will lead to a better understanding of the current learning and teaching activities and new possibilities for optimization of the practice. Using the results, it is expected that students and lecturers can improve their learning and teaching processes, experiences and performance, and university management is able to plan and enact strategies to enhance quality of education methodology and tools. This presentation will describe the overall project framework and some preliminary findings.
