1 Learning Analytics: enabling or transforming education? Professor David (Dai) Griffiths The Institute for Educational Cybernetics The University of Bolton

2 What makes Learning Analytics different from other TEL? Actionable (it supports, or takes over decision making) Intelligence (it knows something you don't know) Earlier educational technologies supported the practice of educational managers and teachers, or entirely replaced them. Learning Analytics, Educational Data Mining, Big Data claim insight into education which is more extensive and reliable than that of education professionals. This morning the Commission said that putting computers in the classroom won't work if the teachers aren't ready I do not think we can understand Learning Analytics or Big Data from this perspective. We need policy, management, economics, sociology...

3 Policy: When I was at school... Anthony Crosland, Secretary of State for Education and Science The nearer one comes to the professional content of education, the more indirect the minister s influence is. And I m sure this is right generally I didn t regard either myself or my officials as in the slightest degree competent to interfere with the curriculum. We are educational politicians and administrators, not professional educators. Kogan (1971) cited in Bassey, M. (2005). Teachers and Government: a history of intervention in education (p. 48). London. Retrieved from and government.pdf

4 The current Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove, 2010 I want to see more data generated by the profession to show what works, clearer information about teaching techniques that get results, more rigorous, scientifically-robust research about pedagogies which succeed and proper independent evaluations of interventions which have run their course. We need more evidence-based policy making, and for that to work we need more evidence.

5 dashboard.ofsted.gov.uk The School Data Dashboard I am launching today raises the stakes. Many governors know their school well already. But for those that don t, there are now no excuses. Inspectors will be very critical of governing bodies who, despite the dashboard, still don t know their school well enough.

6 A growing instrumentalism (KPIs) Seddon argues These techniques represent the imposition of top down targets for public services They imply a de facto purpose They create pressure to pay attention only to those aspects of education which are given significance and are the deliverable indicators. What is PISA doing to education? What do University rankings do? Seddon, J. (2008). Systems Thinking in the Public Sector: The Failure of the Reform Regime and a Manifesto for a Better Way. Axminster: Triarchy Press.

7 A modus vivendi Educational managers o indicate goals for teachers and learners o provide a framework for activity o ensure the results meet minimum standards. Teachers o fill in the details with their professional skills and ethical integrity o respond to the needs of individuals Both believe that they are responsible for the learning There are limits to what can be inspected

8 How does analytics act here? Learning Analytics o radically reduces the effort involved in gathering information o automates the analysis of data Analytics applications are intended to enhance learning. Do they in fact promote managerial control of education?

9 ??? Learning Analytics is primarily a management tool, and will marginalise the role of the teacher Data should guide education policy Analytics transforms the system that it is looking at

10 Another paradigm: Course signals project, Purdue University (1) Predictive student success algorithm run ondemand by instructors. Four categories of data; o Marks in course to date o interaction with LMS compared to peers o prior academic history o student characteristics, such as residency, age, or credits attempted.

11 Another paradigm: Course signals project, Purdue University (2) Red - yellow - green prospects for success. Lecturers can then design an intervention schedule o Post a traffic signal indicator on a student s LMS o messages or reminders o Text messages; o Referral to academic advisor or academic resource centres o Face to face meetings with the instructor The teacher retains control

12 ??? The benefits of big data and analytics outweigh the threats it poses Big data and analytics will be a valuable decision making tool for learners and teachers

13 Wonga This is BIGGGGG data. In education we mainly have modest data sets so far 6 minutes to decide on your credit worthiness Money in your account in 15 minutes Analyse thousands of data points

14 Douglas Meril: Google's former chief information officer, founder ZestFinance We feel like all data is credit data, we just don t know how to use it yet. This is the math we all learned at Google. A page was important for what was on it, but also for how good the grammar was, what the type font was, when it was created or edited. Everything. ZestFinance looks at 70,000 signals and feeds them into 10 separate underwriting models. In milliseconds an applicant's risk profile is generated. Evgeny Morozov _data_and_social_networking_banking.single.html

15 ??? Big data will know more about learners than teachers do Educational institutions should not use online productivity tools Big Data will inform university admissions Twitter and Facebook will sell profiling information to education

16 Is there another paradigm for Big Data applications The Institute for Educational Cybernetics has been how can we use this technology in a different way As part of the Trailer project

24 Pearson results 2012 N. American Education International Education All Pearson Sales (millions) Operating Profit ($ millions) % Growth % 6, %

25 Pearson We ve been listening to what students, educators and administrators have been saying about what they need in order to achieve success. We ve learned that empowering them with understandable insights from data and analytics accelerates student achievement, improves instruction and increases student retention. Pearson Education. (2012). Data and Analytics.Pearson Learning Solutions. Retrieved August 7, 2012, from

26 Analytics and marketing More than 6 million students around the world are now using Pearson MyLab & Mastering products. Integrated usage of these programs has shown to provide measurable gains in student retention, subsequent success, and overall achievement

27 and lobbying... We have made no secret over a number of years of our ambition to contribute to higher education provision in the UK, and we fully endorse the [government s] intention to enable Pearson, and other commercial providers like us, to enter the marketplace with greater ease, Consultation response to the government s higher education White Paper, released to Times Higher Education under the Freedom of Information Act.

28 ??? Big data and analytics will drive the privatisation of education Big data and analytics will bring cheap and effective education to the deprived

29 Learning Analytics is primarily a management tool, and will marginalise the role of the teacher Data should guide education policy? Analytics transforms the system that it is looking at? The benefits of big data and analytics outweigh the threats it poses Big data and analytics is a valuable tool for learners and teachers decision making and personal and institutional reflection? Big data will know more about learners than teachers do Educational institutions should not use online productivity tools? Big Data will inform(s) university admissions? Twitter, Facebook, or someone similar, will sell profiling information to education? Big data and analytics will drive deep change in education privatisation of education???? cheap and effective education to the deprived?
