The Learning Analytics Community of Practice (LA CoP) is designed to connect colleagues across campus in sharing learning analytics experiences. You are invited to share what you’ve learned and learn from your peers. These informal sessions provide an opportunity to discuss strategies using LA in educational practices, and focus on various questions and topics.
- We meet virtually (throughout the academic year) on the 2nd Friday of each month, noon to 1pm, in the LA CoP MS Teams meetings channel. (Join the UW–Madison Learning Analytics MS Team for more info and to receive calendar invitations.)
- We are always open to ideas for topics! If you would like to suggest a topic or share about work you are doing, please post in the Teams site or email LearningAnalytics@office365.wisc.edu.
You do not have to be an expert to participate! Students, staff, instructors, leadership, and others in educational roles are all welcome to attend; whether you are just starting to explore using learning analytics or have experience using learning analytics in your teaching, learning or advising practice.
Resources
Slides and recordings (when available) from past sessions can be located in the Learning Analytics CoP Resources KnowledgeBase document (with your UW–Madison login).
Background
The LA CoP has been meeting virtually in Teams since fall 2020, after meeting in-person since 2018. Topics have been recorded for the past few years; slides or other meeting resources are provided for earlier sessions that were not recorded. You must have UW–Madison credentials to access slides and recordings.
Some earlier events were offered as part of the Learning Analytics Speakers Series. The LA CoP and the LA Speaker Series merged together, and CoP resources includes both event types.
