Learning Analytics

Learning analytics is the practice of using data about learners and their context for the purpose of understanding and optimising learning and the environment in which it occurs

(Siemens et al., 2011).

In vUWS, instructors have access to a number of data sources including data from the vUWS platform pertaining to course usage, student activity, participation and performance to name a few, and the integrated tools such as Panopto, H5P and Zoom. By drawing on this data, it enables instructors to understand the learner and the online environment, and use these insights to make informed decisions to improve teaching and learning.

This website provides instructors with an array of resources to support instructors in accessing the available learning analytics data, interpreting the data and using the data to provide actionable insights around the learner and the online environment.
