LMS Course Design As Learning Analytics Variable
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, I describe a plausible approach to operationalizing existing definitions of learning management system (LMS) course design from the research literature, to better understand instructor impact on student engagement and academic performance. I share statistical findings using such an approach in academic year 201314; discuss related issues and opportunities around faculty development; and describe next steps including identifying and reverse engineering effective course redesign practices, which may be one of the most scalable forms of analytics-based interventions an institution can pursue.
