Dr Bart Rienties will join the meeting to speak about implementing learning analytics and learning design at scale and share lessons from the Open University UK and SoLAR
The Open University UK has been designing, implementing, and evaluating how to effectively provide meaningful learning opportunities for hundreds and thousands of learners across the globe. Since 2015 a range of learning analytics studies and practical intervention studies have shown that these learning analytics and learning design decisions made by educators substantially influence what, how and when learners are learning. However, applying and translating learning design and learning analytics in other institutions, countries and contexts is not a mere copy-paste job. In this HESPA LA SIG I will reflect on some of the lessons learned of how you might start to think about implementing learning analytics and learning design in your own context, if you have not already started to do so already. I will also reflect on how learning analytics and learning design has been implemented across the globe based upon the experiences within the Society of Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR).
