Data & Learning: Future Visions

uImagine at Charles Sturt University

This event is open to all educators around the Wagga area - from K-12 through to Higher Education - that are interested in using Learning Analytics to inform their practice.
The guest speaker is Dr Rebecca Ferguson, a senior lecturer in the Institute of Educational Technology (IET) at The Open University in the UK, and a senior fellow of the Higher Education Academy. She is an executive member of the Society for Learning Analytics Research, programme chair of LAK18, and a leading member of the international learning analytics community. Her work has been influential in shaping the field, supporting implementation across Europe, and promoting a focus on social learning analytics.
Rachel will give a presentation followed by an open Q&A session. 
We would love to have a broad community of teachers on hand to discuss the topic and how it might be used and inform your practice. It's also a great opportunity to network and with other local teachers. 
Doors open at 4pm for a 4.30 start. 
Overview of Rachels Talk:
Learning analytics involve the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, in order to understand and optimise learning and the environments in which it occurs. Since emerging as a distinct field in 2011, learning analytics has grown rapidly, and institutions around the world are already developing and deploying these new tools. However, it is not enough for us to develop analytics for our educational systems as they are now – we need to take into account how teaching and learning will take place in the future. The current fast pace of change means that if, in 2007, we had begun developing learning analytics for 2017, we might not have planned specifically for learning with and through social networks (Twitter was only a year old), with smartphones (the first iPhone was released in 2007), or learning at scale (the term MOOC was coined in 2008). This talk will examine ways in which learning analytics could develop in the future, highlighting issues that need to be taken into account.
