What’s the Message to Students?
CSLSWorkshop,Sea?le,2016
You’re not as smart as you thought… Guys are better at… You can’t major in…
Fact: Best predictor of graduation GPA is freshman fall GPA.

We have been doing research on educational data for a long time What’s changed is the creation of new data sources that are invisible to the learner

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 learning occurs

Who Benefits from LA?
CSLSWorkshop,Sea?le,2016
• Administrators can find out what is happening and explore how well institutional goals are being achieved
• Faculty can study the efficacy of their teaching and explore what approaches are most effective for students
• Students can learn from the experience of their peers to improve their own learning

Where Are We Going?
• Leverage “big data” for education • Use institutional data to innovate teaching
& learning • Assume risks of exposing what does and
doesn’t work in higher ed (and for whom) • Move beyond grades & credit hours (?) • Create shared datasets that allow cross-
institutional analyses

collection, use, and sharing of sensitive student information
• Perception of Big Brother & commercialization of student data

Challenges: Risk of Big Data
CSLSWorkshop,Sea?le,2016
Continued reliance on testing and other norms-based metrics & practices for making decision about action from data “Don’t value what we measure, measure what we value”

Creating Data-Driven Academic Pathways to Success
• Build models of student behavior to diagnose students’ academic challenges -> effective interventions before failure
• Design personalized learning trajectories that address the diversity of students & their preparation for learning at specific types of higher ed institutions
• Develop new models for effective instruction and fair assessment
• Create interfaces for advisors, faculty & students to make data visible, understandable, and valuable
