Really fantastic hand-drawn data visualisations from #msccde students last week https://t.co/W7MpXsFLHe - so impressed by the creative and thoughtful approaches to what we might 'track' about our 'learning' #mscde
@j_k_knox The flow of data between the user and the online platform is often invisible to the user, or set in terms that can’t be understood easily by an average user or a young student.
@fiona_almond@j_k_knox I agree with your point about how it is difficult to define learning, especially when it is in relation to ‘technology’. I just wonder if ‘data’ will ever represent true learning, but just an (ever improving) approximation of what learning might look like...
@j_k_knox These automatic reports of engagement are then used evaluate the student’s “learning” or engagement, and report back to the parents, particularly now while teaching from home 🕵️♂️🕵️
@j_k_knox It’s now popular to measure student engagement and learning through one-click analytics in LMS that measure how many clicks the student made that day, or how many minutes the student looked at something - how is this measuring learning?
