Learning Design

Category: Predictive Analytics

Predictive analytics can be used to assist in learning design. For example, “Rienties and Toetenel (2016) linked 151 modules taught in 2012–2015 at the OU followed by 111,256 students with students’ behaviour using multiple regression models and found that learning designs strongly predicted Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) behaviour and performance of students, as illustrated in Figure 7.4. Findings indicated that the primary predictor of academic retention was how teachers designed their modules, in particular the relative amount of so-called ‘communication activities’ (i.e., student to student, teacher to student, student to teacher).” (Rientes & Jones, 2019: 116)
