Abstract

Learning Analytics constitutes a key tool for supporting Learning Design and teacherled inquiry into student learning (TISL). In this article we demonstrate how a Social Learning Analytics (SLA) toolkit can combine Social Network Analysis (SNA) and content analysis for supporting a global and formal teacher inquiry. This toolkit does not only support teachers in improving the organization of the learning process but also generates important input to improve the students’ reflection on their own learning. Our examples show how combinations of different levels of analysis can provide deep insight in the learning process. We report a case study that exemplifies the main features of our approach and the kind of outcomes that can be obtained. Commenting and rating processes on videos are analysed based on user traces from a social learning platform. Finally, we point out implications on the Learning Design for networked learning environments in general.
