1st First Year Forum 2014: Learning Analytics: what are they and can they help me teach first years?

Course description

Many may have heard about how we are now using data to explore and support at-risk students but were you aware that you can use it to support students and develop curriculum? This first year forum offers a taster of the possible. It focuses on how staff can use data in their teaching and assessment that can make changes to support students as well as demonstrating how students might access data about themselves to develop the skills and abilities to make decisions about their own learning. The forum provides you with a potential insight of what may come as well as an opportunity to ask some questions and begin to develop an understanding of what "the hype" is about.

A morning tea will be provided.
