Proposal 1 Closed Fri 13 May 2016 10:03PM
Universities should take a proactive approach and offer a collective response about the values and principles of higher education. Review the way in which the data is used to measure excellence in teaching practices, and involve individual institutions and disciplines to contribute to the design of measuring tools. Shift the focus from measuring contact time to more diverse evaluations of student engagement and student experience.

you live...and die by data, its critical that the delivery and use of data is very carefully thought about...completely agree on the value and principles

Yes - important to have the foundations for lifelong learning approaches embedded into HE - but are the new approaches to REF and TEF keeping the power status-quo?

absolutely. HE sector needs to own TEF debate, needs to proactively shape new paradigm of data and learning analytics. At the same time each HEi has to find and maintain its unique, individual identity / voice.

This is absolutely the future - Jisc are close with this (https://www.jisc.ac.uk/rd/projects/effective-learning-analytics ) with 80 institutions interested in using the service for sector-wide transferable data (xAPI) about learning experiences

This is 2 proposals: P1 - collective response about values of HE; P2 - sector-wide review of learning analytics.

I think it's a great aspiration to want to speak with one voice about the values and principles of HE but, we face very different challenges across our institutions.
Learning analytics could do with a reappraisal after the initial first-wave of interest a few years back. Could do with situating as one, very important, set of indicators among a whole range of measures for evaluating teaching and learning effectiveness (i.e. not just quantification of learning).

a really useful conversation...
