Interesting findings by @ESRC_IDEAS, on the WhatsApp use among African IDE students. Read more on, tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…, a paper that draws on analysis of 1295 online questionnaires and 165 in-depth interviews with IDE students at @unisa. #DefineTomorrow

Measuring #learninggain in Brazil: larger subject-specific gains than general knowledge gains. What you focus on in the curriculum is reflected in what students learn. But what you choose to measure is a political decision

@allisonl has just kicked off the #learninggains debate @IETatOU for the Blue Team, that Learning Gains is an important concept in UK Higher Education. The emerging arguments between Blue and Orange are turning out to be quite fundamental and entertaining at once

@LearningGains can learning gains be measured? Blue team argues that we need to find more subtle ways to measure learning gains in and out of the classroom.

Christina Hughes- 1. Learning is not linear (student confidence drops) 2. Subject level is more significant than institutional level (signature pedagogies) 3. Methodological rigour (little analysis of peer-effect) #learninggain

Biggest misconception about learning analytics according @DrBartRienties @OpenUniversity "That we are mining students’ and teachers’ data just to save costs and replace people with robots. Learning is complex and requires personal care." timeshighereducation.com/peo…

Possible discussion questions for later on at #learninggainsOU. 1. What timescale is appropriate for measuring learning gains? 2. How can we usefully bring together our qualitative and quantative approaches? Any others?

Types of Learning gains #learninggainsOU @LearningGains @HEFCE @DrBartRienties

How do you know what are you looking for? Number of clicks or amount of time spent online? Advantage of measuring and correlating several areas #learninggainsOU

Variety of definitions/methodologies. Difficult to compare metrics. Limited difference between self-reported vs objective. #learninggainsOU
ABC Learning Gains retweeted
Literature review showed that pre-post testing is considered the most appropriate strategy to capture learning gains. However, each method has its disadvantages. #learninggainsOU

Who is the measurement of the data for? Are the students in the heart of the problem? Provocative questions at #learninggainsOU
