As institutions grapple with how to leverage the vast amounts of data online learning and innovation are producing, educators find themselves under increasing pressure to use analytics data to support student learning. Yet the responsibility of interpreting learner analytics data ethically and in a pedagogically sound manner involves data literacy skills, access to tools, and knowledge that is often unavailable. In this session, we will examine a common approach to data literacy in the context of learner analytics and invite participants to critically reflect on what their data literacy needs might be and how they might be met.

This session is applicable to administrators, educators, students, and staff who are interested in expanding their understanding and application of learner analytics through increased data literacy.
