As I worked through my blog in readiness for submission I noticed a comment from Jeremy regarding adding my own handwritten notes and remembered that I had made notes throughout the Petar Jandric webinar. So this a link to the image file of those.

It seemed only fitting to include my LARC report for the week after discussions around learning analytics. I have annotated it briefly with some notes but it definitely serves the purpose of highlighting the need for context. Without any context it would baffle an outsider, showing a poor level of social interaction, engagement or attendance.
A quick overview is that it was week 9 of a ten week course and two assignments were looming in my mind. I was focused on working on my learning challenge for the first of these and prioritised this along with reading and planning my writing. None of this was captured in the ‘numbers’. It also didn’t compare the week with my fellow classmates but to the course average which meant there was no direct comparison. This might have served to show some of the context as many of the others would be generating similar reports for the same week.

I have tried to pull all of the different elements of my week into a single video artefact: readings, audio produced in part by algorithms, visuals generated by algorithm alongside the algorithmic generated YouTube recommendations for me. The final curated video displays the human aspects behind the numbers.

My aim was to produce a video for this and I had all the transitions/animations in place but then decided to do via a Dropbox link and opted for a document only due to PowerPoint Mac and export to mp4 choice not showing. I’m not overly happy with it but it is the end of the week and time to move on. I really enjoyed the MOOC itself and will continue with it to the end.
