Every time you (teachers and students alike) interact with an online learning platform like Brightspace, you leave behind data. These data can, for example, be analyzed to understand how and which materials are used by learners so that the materials can be tailored for improving the learning process and success of learners. This is an example of what we do with Team Learning Analytics (LA) at Utrecht University (UU).
After this session, you will have a better idea of how educational data is used to evaluate, innovate, or improve education. We will also discuss how data can be used safely, and how you can analyze the data and visualize the outcomes of a data analysis.
You may wonder: How does the use of AI in education fit into all of this? In this session, we will also explore the relationship between LA and AI and explain how LA can guide the safe and effective use of AI in education. Join our session to discover the potential of using data to improve education!
