[Steve Lonn]

Wednesday June 13, 1:15pm at the Jasig Sakai conference:

Thanks for your help!

Session Description:
Is Learning Analytics merely another fad in a long line of technology crazes in education? Is there potential for analytics-based approaches to affect change in teaching and learning? What is being measured, how, and are those the right measures? What does this all mean for the kind of information that systems and tools developed within the Sakai and Jasig communities should provide, to whom, when, and how?

This panel discussion extends and expands an online summer debate and recent conference discussions on the merits, methodologies, and related issues of learning analytics and the relationship of the products and tools produced within the Sakai and Jasig communities. Topics will include measurement in teaching and learning, different analytics methodologies, and how these approaches may inform or influence future tool development. Audience members will be strongly encouraged to engage with the panel and pose their questions and topics for debate.
