The purpose of this study was to examine correlates of both online classroom community and student engagement in online learning, as well as to compare community and engagement across disciplines in higher education. Participants (n=1,410) in online courses across five colleges and in both graduate and undergraduate courses were asked to complete an online survey. The survey consisted of 23 items measuring community and engagement as well as an additional six demographic items. Factor analysis yielded the following three factors accounting for approximately 58% of the total variance: classroom community with instructors (eight items), classroom community with classmates (eight items), and engagement in learning (seven items).

"We find that learning outcomes are essentially the same—that students in the hybrid format "pay no price” for this mode of instruction in terms of pass rates, final exam scores, and performance on a standardized assessment of statistical literacy. These zero-difference coefficients are precisely estimated. We also conduct speculative cost simulations and find that adopting hybrid models of instruction in large introductory courses have the potential to significantly reduce instructor compensation costs in the long run."
KF: There is a growing body of such reports suggesting that concerns about academic achievement in online and blended contexts seem to be unfounded.

Learning analytics tools can track far more data than an instructor can alone. For high-enrollment classes in particular, LA provides a support structure that monitors student progress and offers timely guidance to students whose academic under- performance might otherwise go quietly unnoticed. At their best, LA applications can identify factors that are unexpectedly associated with student learning and course completion. This information can be valuable both to students, in how they approach learning, and to faculty, in how they structure curricula. Via Nik Peachey

There’s big talk these days about “big data” in education—looking for patterns of behavior as students click through online classrooms and using the insights to improve instruction. One start-up company that manages online discussion forums for thousands of courses recently performed its first major analysis of behavioral trends among students, and found what its leaders say amounts to advice for instructors.

Key Takeaways
To take its existing data analysis efforts deeper, Chico State University is studying how student achievement is related to (LMS) use and student characteristics.
The project is also assessing whether student achievement in courses that have been redesigned to include technology correlates with LMS use.
Among the project's early findings are the importance of LMS data filtering, incongruences between LMS course hits and time spent on activities, and that students from low-income families use the LMS more frequently (and longer) than students from higher-income families.
If successful, this project will be scaled out across other courses at Chico State, University and it is designed for easy adoption by other California State University campuses by using common student data definitions and shared interests about student success.

Talk about analytics seems to be everywhere. Everyone is talking about analytics. Presidents are talking. CIOs are talking. Corporate representatives are talking. Government representatives are talking. Media pundits are talking. Yet even with all the talk, many in higher education have questions about—and objections to—using analytics in colleges and universities.

Social Networks Adapting Pedagogical Practice (SNAPP)
SNAPP is a software tool that allows users to visualize the network of interactions resulting from discussion forum posts and replies. The network visualisations of forum interactions provide an opportunity for teachers to rapidly identify patterns of user behaviour – at any stage of course progression. SNAPP has been developed to extract all user interactions from various commercial and open source learning management systems (LMS) such as BlackBoard (including the former WebCT), and Moodle. SNAPP is compatible for both Mac and PC users and operates in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.
