Research Projects Using Learning Analytics Elsewhere

From slam

The SIGNALS Project at Purdue University

With the turn of the new millennium, the nature of the course management systems on campuses began to change. Institutions began to standardize and support one common application. Vendors began to architect and promote their product as an “enterprise” system. And researchers began to consider what might be possible with the scale of such a system and the data begin captured by the application. This session will explore the initial beginnings of Signals, the current status of the project, and the future directions of the use of analytics within Signals and other learning initiatives.
