2/3 Learning Management Systems and Data Analytics

Количество ответов: 8

The growth of Web 2.0 since 2006 has made it possible to not only gather data about how much our students spend on our websites, but how they do on assignments, and how much they interact with each other. This information makes the digital classroom resemble the physical one in may ways. 

But it also brings up the question, can data science lead to students learning more effectively? And could systems of managing student-student, student-teacher, and student-resource interactions minimize the time needed to learn? 

Start with the following resources. 

  • What we can learn from online education - Daphne Kohlberg 
  • Big Data, The Science of Learning, Analytics, and the Transformation of Education - Candace Thille 
  • Go to BilimEdTech and work through part of the "How to Use Moodle" course. (You can create a free account. You don't need to finish the course, but see what an LMS like Moodle can do.)

Then, show us a Pecha-Kucha or TikTok series (See the instructions here.) that shows us the most important concepts that we should know, as digital pedogogues. 

After your Pecha-Kucha or TikTok series, give us some thought-provoking questions (especially, think of how you could apply this in your cultural context). 

Finally, monitor the discussion by replying quickly and challenging us to learn more!

yes, because Virtual learning gives students the flexibility to study when and how they want, which can be very useful for those who work or have other commitments. And as there are often no costs involved with transportation, housing, or other physical infrastructure, virtual education can be less expensive than traditional in-person education.

I also agree on the positive impact of virtual learning on employee and those who are far away from education / learning centers. The only critical variable is how much we feel we are happy to learn virtually and feel present with others - education is after all a social enterprise.

Parisa, thanks for your presentation! Well done!
I have a couple suggestions for next time.
  1. Slow down.
  2. Remember that the images on your slides are your tools for teaching. Choose images that help illustrate the point you're trying to make. (I get distracted if there's a cool image that doesn't show the message of the voice I'm hearing.)

I would have liked to see you share more about Dana Analytics within the LMS. That's one of the big strengths of an LMS like Moodle or Schoology over a tool like Google Classroom.  But we can talk about that more later.

I appreciated the way you brought up some concernsa about LMS's at the end. Yes, the stronger the system is, the higher chance there is that students could feel isolated from their instructor or their colleagues. For instance, MOOCs often have very powerful LMS's, but only about 8% of the students who begin a course finish. 

My great friend, Professor Alibaeva (Davis), prefers Google Classroom to Moodle, and I respect her opinion a lot. Classroom is much easier to set up and begin using. But when it comes to schoolwide administration and research into student learning, Classroom doesn't really try to compete.
