Use of learning analytics (LA) in education Introduction Use of learning analytics (LA) in education Key issue: How can we better identify methods, benefits, and challenges in LA for higher education? This study reveals: LA methods, benefits, and challenges through a systematic literature review How these components affect educators and students in higher education Sandy

Comprehensive literature review Overview Comprehensive literature review Cooper (1988) method used to synthesize the literature Formulate problem, collect data, evaluate data, analyze data, organize/present results Focused on articles regarding: LA methods, benefits, and challenges Revealed insights relative to how these three components affect educators and students in higher education Michelle

Problem Embracing LA in evaluating data in higher education diverts educators’ attention from identifying methods, benefits, and challenges Few studies have synthesized prior studies or provided combined overview of LA in higher education Need for further clarification of three components so educators can better apply LA in higher education. Michelle

RQ2: What are the benefits of using learning analytics in education? Research Questions RQ1: What are the methods for conducting learning analytics in education? RQ2: What are the benefits of using learning analytics in education? RQ3: What are the challenges of using learning analytics in education? Michelle

Purpose LA uses predictive models that can help improve educational decision making / performance (Campbell, De Blois, & Oblinger, 2007) Increases learner awareness to help improve the educational process (West, 2012) Tracks and predicts learner performance and potential issues such as students at risk (EDUCAUSE, 2010; Johnson, Smith, Willis, Levine, & Haywood, 2011) Michelle

Significance of Study LA is an emerging field of education; therefore, stakeholders need to better understand LA methods and application in higher education (Scheffel, Drachsler, Stoyanov et al., 2014) Providing an overview is critical to understanding LA and its applications in higher education Michelle

Literature Review Method to Synthesize the Literature (Cooper, 1988) Formulate the problem Collect data Evaluate the appropriateness of the data Analyze and interpret relevant data Organize and present the results Lequisha

Literature Review Focused on peer-reviewed journals since 2000 to identify learning analytics methods, benefits, and challenges Keywords included: Learning analytics and methods Learning analytics and benefits Learning analytics and challenges Data mining and education Learning analytics and education Learning analytics Michelle

Results Methods Prediction Clustering Relationship mining Discovery with models Separation of data for use in the process of human judgment (Baker, 2010; Baker & Yacef, 2009; Romero & Ventura, 2010) Sandy

Results Benefits Identification of target courses Curriculum improvement Student learning outcomes Personalized learning Improved instructor performance Benefits to the research community Sandy

Results Challenges Data tracking Data collection Data analysis Learning environment optimization Emerging technology Ethical issues Sandy

Implications As a result of greater availability and access to data, LA will increase understanding of patterns of: Learner behavior Networks Interactions Sandy

Use of performance systems allows for: Conclusion Schools must recognize importance of a data-driven approach to education Use of performance systems allows for: Better decision-making Identification of trends and problematic issues Ability to allocate resources more efficiently Using LA ensures greater outcomes to improve quality of teaching and learning Sandy
