Learning Analytics for Knowledge Building Discussion 

Synopsis:

This is a short introductory course on the use of learning analytics in the Knowledge Forum (KF) to facilitate knowledge building (KB) discourse. KB discourse are discussions that move beyond students sharing information and toward students actively developing deeper understanding and building upon ideas. It is an important component of e-pedagogy.

The course is intended for teachers who are familiar with KF and are keen to adapt the learning analytics in their KB lessons. The course includes interactive presentations, a hands-on session and discussion. At the end of this course, teachers will learn the use of learning analytics in KF and the interpretation of the visualisation of the learning analytics in relation to 21cc and deep learning. They will also learn ways to apply the LA to support students’ KB discourse. Attendees will need access to KF.
