Learning Analytics

Learning analytics captures, analyses and reports on data related to learners and their learning contexts. In higher education, this allows for the optimization of learning and learning environments. Using a hands-on approach, students develop a thorough understanding of the field of learning analytics, from analytics methodologies and tools to the limitations imposed by technology, costs and privacy concerns. Through a combination of online material and simulations, students identify which metrics best measure learner behaviour, curriculum design and how to use each one to gain insights into learners' experience.
