Student Learning and Analytics at Michigan (SLAM): Video Analytics: From Keywords to Keyframes

In its relative infancy, the learning analytics movement has focused mainly on scraping data from online interactions in course management systems, or on aggregating databases of grades stored electronically. This talk will focus on ways of improving teaching and learning by using video technologies to analyze lecture materials as well as to provide a means for reflective practice that can more fully capture an educational experience.

Virginia Kuhn is the Associate Director of the Institute for Multimedia Literacy, a research unit in the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California, and she directs the Institute for Multimedia Literacy's Honors in Multimedia Scholarship program.
