Student Learning and Analytics at Michigan (SLAM) - Learning Analytics, Learning Metrics, and Learning Science

David Niemi, Vice President of Measurement and Evaluation, Kaplan, Inc., will present on learning analytics at Kaplan.

Sound learning analytics based on valid metrics give us new leverages to study and improve learning and other outcomes. This presentation focuses on how Kaplan uses learning analytics to identify the best learning paths for individual students; identify and implement approaches to help students who are struggling; test principles of learning and instruction in authentic learning environments at scale; and provide stronger evidence on the impact of new approaches and tools on learning and other key outcomes.

Student Learning and Analytics at Michigan (SLAM) - High Return on Faculty Investment: Addressing Diverse Student Needs in Large Lectures Through Screencasting

Joanna Mirecki Millunchick, U-M Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, will discuss her learning analytics research on screencasting in her materials science class, MSE 220. Because the course draws students with widely varying degrees of background knowledge about course concepts, Professor Millunchick developed screencasts to offer diverse students opportunities to review lecture topics and learn at a pace appropriate to their needs. This session will describe the screencasts and learning analytics research about them. This project was awarded a 2012 Provost's Teaching Innovation Prize.

Please note that this SLAM will be held on North Campus at the Robert H. Lurie Engineering Center's Johnson Rooms (3rd Floor). Lunch will be provided.
