To be an effective (& empathetic) educator, it's vital to set goals and reflect. Some of my goals for this teaching period were regarding learner engagement/participation, retention rates & a demonstrated increase in student learning from one assessment to the next.
Student feedback (student perceptions) andincidental feedback are some of the most important methods and artefacts I utilizewhen reflecting on how well I achieved my goals in a teaching period.
Further, one of the main things the Academic Team (Unit Coordinator and Program Director)look at are retention rates, fail rates and pass rates.
’At-risk’ students refer to students who risk not successfully completing their current academic study. They are the types of students that lead to low retention rates.” (Fang & Shewmaker 2016, p. 161). @CanvasLMS provides me with the the ability to utilise small data.
By utilising this readily available small data, I can implemented targeted interventions, close achievement gaps, and provide an empathetic, student-centeric approach to teaching. #onlinelearning #lthechat
Over the next few weeks, I'll continue to post on learner analytics, why they matter, and how to use them to support positive learning outcomes. #onlinelearning #smalldata
I'd also love to hear how YOU actively use learner analytics to improve student learning outcomes.
