Course Details
The aim of this module is to explore Data Analytics (the use of data to enable decision-making) in education, learning and development contexts, where information can be mined, stored and tracked to enhance learning. Organisations are increasingly harnessing digital technology and machine learning, and developing techniques and applications to enable learner success. Compliance with data protection legislation and ethical issues are key areas of consideration in the aggregation of personal learning data. The objective of the module is to enable participants to analyse the strategies, systems, policies and best practices within this rapidly growing landscape and gain practical knowledge and understanding of Learning Analytics (LA) using hypothetical and real-world scenarios.
