I attended a Teaching Forum hosted by the Cambridge Centre for Teaching and Learning on Thursday, and this is a photo of some of the notes that I took during a presentation by Dr Sonia Ilie, on the LEGACY project. Dr Ilie discussed the results of a bit of qualitative research surrounding students’ understanding of learning gain. One of her arguments put me in mind of learning analytics.
In case my handwriting isn’t clear, Dr Ilie reported that the research had demonstrated that students are variably equipped to reflect upon their own learning. I wondered – in the bottom comment of the photo – about the impact that learning analytics might have upon this. I’m interested in whether learning analytics might help students to develop critically reflective skills, or whether it might let them off the hook by effectively providing them with a shorthand version of that reflection.
