What’s different with Big Data? 4 V’s:1. Volume2. Variety3. Velocity4. Variability
(IBM & Brian Hopkins, Forrester)

Academic Analytics
“Academic Analytics marries large data sets with statistical techniques and predictive modeling to
improve decision making”
(Campbell and Oblinger 2007, p. 3)
![Page 10: Learning Analytics: Realizing the Big Data Promise in the CSU](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/558b2003d8b42ad76d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Academic Analytics1. Term adopted in 2005 ELI research report
(Goldstein & Katz, 2005)
– Response to widespread adoption ERP systems, desire to use data collected for improved decision making
– 380 respondents; 65% planned to increase capacity in near future
2. Call to move from transactional/operational reporting to what-if analysis, predictive modeling, and alerts
3. LMS identified as potential domain for future growth

Learner Analytics:
“ ... measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs.” (Siemens, 2011)
![Page 13: Learning Analytics: Realizing the Big Data Promise in the CSU](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/558b2003d8b42ad76d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
or said plainly:
What are students doing?
Does it matter?
![Page 14: Learning Analytics: Realizing the Big Data Promise in the CSU](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/558b2003d8b42ad76d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Learner Analytics1. Analyze combinations of data including:
– Frequency of ed tech usage (e.g. clickstream analysis)– Student learning “outputs” (e.g. quiz scores, text answers)– Student background characteristics (e.g. race/ethnicity)– Academic achievement (e.g. grades, retention, graduation)
2. Current rsch: mostly data mining, not hypothesis-driven
3. More complex than Academic Analytics, considering: – Immaturity of ed tech reporting functionality– Translation of usage into meaningful activity– No significant difference: not what technology used, it’s how it’s
used, who uses it, and for what purpose
![Page 15: Learning Analytics: Realizing the Big Data Promise in the CSU](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/558b2003d8b42ad76d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A few promises of analytics for faculty and students …
1. Provide behavioral data to investigate student performance
2. Inform faculty about students succeeding or at risk of failing a course
3. Warn students that they are likely to fail a course – before it’s too late
4. Help faculty evaluate the effectiveness of practices and course designs
5. Customize content and learning activities (e.g. adaptive learning materials)
![Page 16: Learning Analytics: Realizing the Big Data Promise in the CSU](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/558b2003d8b42ad76d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What’s the promise of analytics for academic technologists?
1. Decision-making based on actual practices (not just perceptions) and student outcomes
2. Support movement of A.T. into strategic role re: teaching and learning by:– demonstrating the link between technology
and learning– distinguishing our role from a technology
infrastructure provider

LMS Learner Analytics @ Chico StateCampus-wide
– How are faculty & students using the LMS? – What meaningful activities are being conducted? – How does that usage vary by student background, by college, by
department?
Course level– What is the relationship between LMS actions, student background
characteristics and student academic achievement? (6 million dollar question)
– Intro to Religious Studies: redesigned in Academy eLearning, increased enrollment from 80 to 327 students first semester
Ultimate goal: provide faculty and administrators with what-if modeling tools to identify promising practices and early alerts

CLOSING THOUGHTS
![Page 35: Learning Analytics: Realizing the Big Data Promise in the CSU](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/558b2003d8b42ad76d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Call to Action
1. Metrics reporting is the foundation for Analytics
2. Don’t need to wait for student performance data; good metrics can inspire access to performance data
3. You’re *not* behind the curve, this is a rapidly emerging area that we can (should) lead ...
4. If there’s any ed tech software folks in the audience, please help us with better reporting!
