SURF Innovation programme. Learning Analytics
Learning analytics is a relatively new phenomenon in education. It involves analysing the online behaviour of students within an electronic learning environment or a digital learning and working environment. Analysing the data can help higher education institutions to gain a better understanding of:
- students’ study behaviour;
- the quality of the educational resources used;
- how the digital learning and working environment is in fact used;
- the quality of test items;
- student progress.
Naace Impact Awards Shortlist Announced
With over 64 high calibre entries the judging was extremely difficult.
Naace has no doubt about the impact that ICT can have on learning and teaching when used well by skilled and creative professionals. ICT makes a real difference to learner’s achievement and engagement; it offers access to resources that would otherwise be beyond the reach of any school or college, it allows communication and collaboration beyond the physical and temporal limits of the classroom; it allows learners to think more clearly and see the world from another perspective. Naace has a long standing history of supporting those working in education to use ICT to achieve the greatest possible impact, and now seeks to provide some formal recognition of outstanding work in this area.
