Workshop on Learning Design Analytics: Balanced Planning with an Innovative, Free-to-Use Software Tool

The aim of this half-day face-to-face workshop, organized in cooperation of three universities, is twofold. First, it will provide a platform for sharing of experiences, research and challenges related to the link between learning analytics (LA) and learning design (LD). Second, the workshop will enable participants to engage with an innovative, free-to-use LD tool (learning-design.eu), and create advanced learning analytics on LD using the tool. Participants will be invited to work collaboratively on LD of their own courses, reflect on the LA generated by the LD tool and improve the course LD accordingly. This will also contribute to the further development of the concept and tool, based on a pre-established research protocol. Participants will take away recommendations for improvement of their own courses, as well as know-how on how to use an innovative LD tool at their own institutions. Ahead of the workshop, if interested, participants will be invited to apply for a short presentation (5-10 minutes). They will also be asked to consider their courses and particular learning outcome(s) which could be redesigned at the workshop.
