Abstract

As the use of digital resources and tools continues to expand in education, the volume and variety of data now available to researchers presents new opportunities for understanding and improving student learning. Learning Analytics (LA) has emerged over the past two decades as an interdisciplinary field to help leverage these new data sources and is defined as the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning. This working group roundtable aims to bring together faculty leading graduate programs in Learning Analytics to discuss student competencies, curriculum and instructional approaches in order to improve existing programs and guide the increasing number of programs in development.
