A three tier model to promote the institutional adoption of learning analytics

Abstract

Many institutions are making significant investments to build their learning analytics capability. However, creating a successful platform for large scale adoption of learning analytics (LA) is not simple. In this case study we describe the adoption of a three tier model designed for cross institutional engagement and implementation of LA at a medium sized tertiary education institution. We outline the actions taken at the three differentiated but interconnected levels of governance, projects and community. We analyse the results from activity in each of these three areas and, mark out a set of recommendations for future action that we anticipate will continue to drive and gain value from LA deployment across the institution.
