Faculty Support Challenges• MOST FACULTY LEARN BEST FROM OTHER
FACULTY . . .
• BUT the “default state” of a Course Management System is a closed door.
• Most faculty don’t talk to each other about their teaching.
• Unanalyzed data: don’t know what we don’t know.

Academic Analytics

Solution: Transparency• Show faculty what peers are doing through
publicly available reports of student use.– System Administrators should not have the only
“birds eye” view of an application.
• Which courses do you show?
• Average “hits per student” makes all courses equal candidates regardless of size.– Usage alone is not an indicator of quality.– But activity by students piques faculty interest.

Future Plans
• Provide self service reports to students who can monitor their activity against– Anonymous summary of the current class
roster.– Activity by grade distribution for students in
past versions of the course.• Alert students who may be at risk?• Who decides?
