Initiatives like the\u00a0<\/span>Khan Academy<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>or platforms for MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), like\u00a0<\/span>edX\u00a0<\/span><\/a>or\u00a0<\/span>Coursera<\/a>, have stricken the education sector like a tsunami. One of the key enabling features of these initiatives is the use of a fine-grained analytics to provide a much better learning experience. In this session, several experiences carried out by members of the eMadrid network are presented that are related to learning analytics.<\/p>\n eMadrid is the Excellence Network about e-Learning funded by the Regional Government of Madrid. Its members are the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, who acts as a coordinator, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos and Universidad Nacional de Educaci\u00f3n a Distancia, together with a large number of associated companies and educational institutions. The aim of the network is to provide leadership and perform advanced research in the area of e-learning, including technology transfer to companies. The network organizes monthly seminars and annual workshops. All presentations are recorded and available at the network\u2019s website www.emadridnet.org.<\/span><\/p>\n In this special session, an overview is given about the research carried out by eMadrid partners in the area of learning analytics.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15.1″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n \u201cInformation is the oil of the 21st century, and analytics is the combustion engine\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>, says Peter Sondergaard, senior vice president at Gartner [1], in order to emphasize the importance of analysing information to get useful knowledge. In [2] we can read a good definition of the term analytics and its application in the educational context:\u00a0<\/span>\u201cAnalytics is the use of data, statistical and quantitative methods, and explanatory and predictive models to allow organizations and individuals to gain insights into and act on complex issues. In colleges and universities, analytics is used to improve operational efficiency and student success.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Analytics has been used on the web in general (cf. Google Analytics) for some time now providing valuable information about users and helping developers to improve contents or the design of websites. Nowadays, learning analytics is being applied to online education (e.g. Khan Academy) or to different MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) to gain insight about what is actually happening in the courses, and in particular to improve the learning experience on the basis of a very detailed capturing of events. In an online setting, the teacher can have a much more detailed information about the educational process than in a face-to-face setting. Therefore online education can even be superior to traditional face-to-face education, at least in some respects. And learning analytics lies at the heart of this magic.<\/p>\n These are the contributions to this session from each partner of the eMadrid Network:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”http:\/\/www.conftool.com\/educon\/index.php?page=browseSessions&presentations=show&form_session=32″ url_new_window=”on” button_text=”More info about this session” _builder_version=”4.15.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#0C71C3″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15.1″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Finally, the six universities included in this network also promote open educational resources individually.
