Getting past the broken teachers vs. tech debate

Getting past the broken teachers vs. tech debate | Learning Analytics, Educational Data Mining, Adaptive Learning | Scoop.it

The truth is, in the era of artificial intelligence, the most valued and secure jobs will be those that require complex social skills—such as teaching. Good teachers do more than just convey information. They coach and mentor their students to make learning relevant and meaningful, and they foster students’ interests in tackling complex, real-world problems. And while technology can replicate teachers’ expertise in dispensing information and assessing students’ knowledge of rote facts and skills, it is far from replacing the teacher’s role in providing expert feedback on critical thinking, communication, and leadership.


It’s important to remember, however, that substituting technologies for certain teaching tasks is a critical innovation for advancing the education system’s ability to serve all students. In the current factory-based educational model, teachers simply can’t give all their students the individualized feedback and coaching they need. But the more we utilize the best recorded lectures, documentary films, and instructional technologies to replace live lectures, the more we can free up teachers to spend their time working closely with their students to foster deeper learning. When students are able to get foundational knowledge and skills through technology-based instruction, teachers can evolve their purpose in the classroom and focus their time on providing expert feedback on higher-order skills and tackling complex, real-world problems with their students.

Learning analytics in online learning: trying hard but need to do better. By Tony Bates

Learning analytics in online learning: trying hard but need to do better. By Tony Bates | Learning Analytics, Educational Data Mining, Adaptive Learning | Scoop.it

I have now covered all five main articles in the special August issue of the journal Distance Education on learning analytics (because it is not an open publication). These are:

1- analytics and learning design at the UKOU.
2- analytics and personality traits in a high school in China
3- analytics and gamification in an undergraduate course at a Hong Kong university
4- learning analytics to predict mastery using an online mathematics tutoring system
5- MOOCs and student data privacy: a sentiment analysis based on the terms of service of three MOOC providers. 


However, there are also two commentaries on the five articles in this issue, one by George Siemens and the other by Michael Jacobson. I will briefly discuss these commentaries then give my own overview of what the five papers suggest to me about the current use of learning analytics in online learning and distance education.
