Activity # 2
This is my first exposure to learning analytics. I found the learning analytics to be very useful for educational and social purposes. Learning analytics can help the learners to understand his or her behaviour and contexts so that changes can be made to optimize learning. Also they could help lecturers to see when particular students had logged in, the pages they frequently visited, and the length of time they spent at various sites and area of interactions. As a parent I think learning analytics could be very useful in providing vital information on my child’s use of various sites. Thus this data would provide me with information that would allow me to taken relevant actions.
This week’s learning materials are very practical and informative. I absolutely like the literature. I think it something I am going share with my colleagues and use in my class

Conroy,
Very useful indeed. More like an online policing app. The one I am currently using is called “who’s online”. It provides me with great data about my students’ visits to the site and how long they stay on. Yesterday I was able to point out those in class who are not visiting the sit often enough.
