[DG: Teaching & Learning] Question - Anyone Tracking Faculty Activity in Courses?

[Berg, Alan]

Hi all,

A mild aside about generalised infrastructure. At the LAK15 conference there was an interesting which was looking towards seeing if we can user student activity to measure Learn design objectives. I expect that this type of sophisticated reporting will start to emerge in the coming years and probably best served by a standards based open and generic framework. (Rienties. B,. Toetenel. L,. Bryan. A,. 2015: “Scaling up” learning design: impact of learning design activities on LMS behavior and performance).

Regards,
           Alan

Hi, Luisa,
We are hoping to implement the Open Analytics at our campus, but my impression is that it is more oriented toward predictive analytics about student performance -- which is excellent!  However for operational type reporting -- such as which faculty are using which tools in which course sites, seems a simpler reporting environment is more appropriate.

Again, hope we have some good discussion about easy to use tools for operational type reporting as well as the more predictive analytics frameworks.

Pat

All,

Sorry if this isn’t the right context for this.

We’re presently looking to gather some data on the level and kind of involvement our faculty have in their online courses, and are familiar with the Statistics tool in Sakai to gather just this type of information.

However, we’re also looking at being able to provide a more responsive engagement with faculty – if for example they’re not remaining engaged or active in their online courses (as our contract spells out).  One way to check for this is to use the Statistics tool in every course an instructor is teaching in in the current term, and then relay that information to that faculty member’s respective dean or school.

Another way would be to have a service that simply looks into the current term’s courses for just this sort of data and notifies those deans accordingly if (say) the instructor hasn’t engaged with a particular course for more than 4 days.

Any thoughts are helpful.
