Academic vs Learning Analytics...
* - Analytics in Higher Education: Establishing a Common Language
Academic Analytics
Learning Analytics
A process for providing higher education institutions with the data necessary to support operational and
financial decision making*
Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimising learning and the environments in
which it occurs
Focused on the business of the institution
Focused on the student and their learning behaviors
Management/executives are the
primary audienceLearners and instructors are the
primary audience
What’s All the Hype About?
● Learning Analytics holds the potential
to “break the higher education iron
triangle”o Academic Early Alert Systems
o Adaptive Learning Systems
o Dashboard/Data Visualization
● There are challenges…o Privacy/Ethical use of data
o Learning Analytics (LA) tool and software silos
o Limited coordination across LA landscape

What is Apereo LAI?https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/LAI/
Open. Learning Analytics. Community.Accelerate the operationalization of Learning Analytics software and frameworks, support the validation of analytics pilots across institutions, and work together to avoid duplication of efforts.
● SoLAR is an academic research
community working to grow and
expand the field of LAo Marist College is a founding member of SoLAR
o Looking at operationalizing SoLAR research
efforts
● Current collaboration activities with
SoLARo Open Learning Analytics (OLA) Summit
o SNAPP – Sakai integration project
o Grant funding (NSF, Gates)
Apereo – SoLAR Collaboration
What ELSE is Apereo LAI?A safety net by providing:● Open collaboration and minimize
duplication of effort.● Build open, scalable, sustainable
ecosystem for Learning Analytics.● Nucleation point where research meets
sustainability (See OLA from SoLAR).● Develop evidence hubs to easily deploy
and cross validate analytic solutions across institutions/platforms.
What specifically is Apereo LAI now
● Starts by building the minimum stacko i.e. Learning Analytics Diamond
● Attracts research muscle (of the SoLAR community) into real world, high scale, cross validated environments.
● Seeks to enrich the Apereo project portfolio
● Knowledge Dissemination● Community outreach● Open
Five main aspectsCollection, Storage, Analysis, Action, Communication
Where are things right now?what works today
Open Source Learning Analytics today
ICT Services interactions with the effort My time to help build a community Intersections with other communities
SOLAR SURF (Co-chair SIG LA)
UvA LRS LRS support for uPortal, Sakai CLE and
Apereo LAI UvA
UvA Inform BlackBoard Pilot COACH / UvAAnalytics Datawarehouse
Sakai xAPI integration
● Streams Sakai event activity to an LRS using experience statements
● Easy to extend and add additional events
● Available in Sakai 10
OAE xAPI integration
● Ability to push activity stream data to an LRS in real-time
● Feature and target LRS is configurable on tenant-per-tenant basis in multi tenant OAE platform.
OAAI Early Alert System

Student Success Plan (SSP)
•Case Management Software•Academic Advising Tools (MAP)•Early Alert / Faculty Access (EAL)•Student Interface (Tasks, MAP, Self Help)•Student Information System (SIS) Integration•Reporting Tools / Data Collection
What projects are in progress?coming soon
uPortal xAPI integration
● Will stream portal and portlet events to an LRS based on user activity
● https://issues.jasig.org/browse/UP-3718● Based on the Sakai xAPI work● Currently in progress
o Expected to be completed this summer
UvA LRS
● Building a public thin LRSo Will only support the spec (minimal UI)o Local (on site) data storageo Security and performance are primary
Low attack profile Less code helps optimize performance
● Release “soon” (when it is ready)● UvA focus on core requirements (no
frills)o xAPI support for Sakai, OAE, now uPortalo Strategic support from Unicon
OAAI automation + Sakai connector
● Package the knowledge flows and PMML early alert models into an API.
● Accept required OAAI data specs in JSON, CSV, XML standards
● Perform data mining and scoring operations using a library of PMML models.
● Deliver early alert predictions and insights in JSON/ CSV/ XML standards
● LTI integration of OAAI with Sakai CLE to render and store early alert insights
Meeting Place for a community of shared interest• What are our mutual requirements
• Who has done what
• Can we share our mistakes and successes
• Accelerates learning in a knowledge organization
• Meetings twice monthly
• Conferences
• Google group
• Shared WIKI space
• Coming soon: Hackathons and shared grant proposals
