Mr. Joshua Baron

Open Academic Analytics Initiative (OAAI)

The Open Academic Analytics Initiative (OAAI) will engage in a
combination of technical work, pilot activities, and exploratory
research to provide institutions of higher education with a scalable,
open academic-analytics solution along with initial insights into how
to successfully apply this solution in diverse educational
environments. To accomplish this, the OAAI, will build on an existing
prototype to develop an open “student effort data” API for the
open-source Sakai Collaborative Learning Environment—currently in use
in over 300 institutions—and employ it to pilot the application of
academic analytics in a range of academic settings. Back to top
