Abstract

The pedagogies used by university teachers in the online learning space influence the student learning process. Understanding teachers’ online intentions and practices is therefore a critical pursuit towards enhancing student learning experiences and outcomes. This paper explores teaching analytics and how they can help us understand online teacher decisions and practices. Using preliminary data related to online quizzes and forums, the paper illustrates the potential and challenges related to the use of teaching analytics and concludes by discussing implications and recommending further work.
