Learning Analytics
Different definitions• Learning analytics is the use of intelligent data,
learner-produced data, and analysis models to discover information and social connections for predicting and advising people's learning.
• Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs.

Learning Analytics
• Het gaat er vooral om dat je met LA kunt begrijpen wat er plaatsvindt in leersituaties.
• Dat je leeractiviteiten kunt tracken en kunt analyseren wat er nu echt gebeurt binnen leerprocessen.
• Binnen het onderwijs baseren we ons vaak vaak vooral op intuïtie, in plaats van dat we besluiten kunnen nemen op basis van wetenschappelijke data.

What can we learn with LA?
For the instructor:• Clear indicators to enhance course content. • Pinpointing learners at the verge of dropping out
For the learners:• It helps learners meaningfully filter web content.• It delivers meaningful support.• It helps you connect to parallel or complementary
learner colleagues.• It offers guidance for correct participation/

Difference with formal education
• Qualitative• a learner who starts but does not complete may well be seen as a success, depending on the reasons
• Quantitative• the rate of dropout is so very much larger in MOOCs

Some interactions do not scale!
Deep and meaningful formal learning occurs if
one of the interactions is at a high levelT. Anderson, 2003.Getting the Mix Right Again: An updated and theoretical rationale for interaction Equivalency of InteractionThe International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 4 (2)
