Abstract

The field of learning analytics has progressed significantly since the first Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) conference in 2011. In recent years, the emphasis on technical and statistical aspects of data and analytics has given way to a greater emphasis on what these data mean in the classroom context. This panel session is aimed at examining the emerging role that data and analytics play in understanding and supporting student learning in higher education. Specifically, the panel will focus on the importance of transdisciplinarity and how translation from data to action can occur in the classroom context. The aim of this session is to broaden the conversation about learning analytics within the ASCILITE community. From there, the panel will discuss ways in which learning analytics can have a greater impact on learning design in physical and digital learning environments.
