Improve Student Learning with Action Analytics
Recorded :: August 4 & 5, 2010

 

OVERVIEW

Despite demands for accountability and learning outcomes assessment in higher education, few colleges and universities have a comprehensive program of academic performance data analysis, predictive modeling, and curricular redesign to improve student learning. The three major barriers (or opportunities) continue to be technology, tactics, and culture. Regardless of institutional type, size, or mission, there are new, emerging strategies to engage faculty and staff in a culture of assessment and effective practices for improving student learning.


Join your colleagues in this two-part webcast to learn how action analytics can enhance readiness and tactics for campus-wide learning assessment. Action analytics integrates technology infrastructure, data mining, and analysis at the course and program level. Beyond technology, the strategy emphasizes explicit actions to coordinate intervention, clarify organizational ownership and staff skills, and galvanize cultural readiness focused on student success and measurable institutional impact.  


Join four respected leaders-practitioners in action analytics to learn about:

  • Building technology infrastructure and staff skills for learning assessment analytics
  • Implementing effective practices to measure and improve learning outcomes
  • Understanding the differences between accountability and assessment
  • Influencing the dynamics of campus readiness for action analytics
  • Cultivating campus partnerships for learning improvement



Did You Know?

  • A 2009 study by the National Institute of Learning Outcomes Assessment found that gathering information about what students learn is commonplace in most colleges and universities, but the results are not always used to improve learning.
  • The 2009 Campus Computing Project survey of IT leaders ranked assessing impact as one of the key drivers for allocating institutional resources.
  • The 2010 Gartner survey of CIOs found increasing use of analytics as one of three top expectations for IT.
