5 Reasons Why Teachers and Instructional Designers Should Care About Learning Analytics by Steve Quann
|
|
|
"Instructors can learn more than just
who needs help (they often know that already), more importantly, they can see
where students need help. Learning analytics can guide you in ways to better your lesson planning and improve the personalization of learning. You can more accurately predict which learning materials are appropriate or relevant for your learners based on a student’s overall results, skills, and interests." |
