Learning Analytics Symposium

On Thursday 8th December 2016, Dr Mark Glynn gave a presentation at the National Forum Learning Analytics Symposium. His brief talk, which is available in the video below, described some of the lessons and experiences from the DCU funded PredictEd project exploring the potential and pitfalls of learning analytics in the first year experience.

This Symposium, entitled “Bringing People Together; Exploring LA in Irish HE”,  was designed to introduce people relevant work in the area, help build a stronger community in the use of learning analytics, and collaborate to identify opportunities, challenges and solutions.

After the Symposium we invited delegates to provide feedback on the event by completing an online evaluation. Thank you to those who responded to the survey (67 participants) and 100% of survey respondents rated the Symposium as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’. Similarly, 95% of respondents rated the value of the Symposium as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’, with 98% of people rating very highly the overall professionalism of the event. The administrative organisation was also rated highly and 94% of respondents indicated that they would attend a similar symposium if it was offered again in the future. A more detailed summary of the evaluation report can be downloaded from the link below.
