Learning Analytics: Analysing Trends in Online Learning Activities for Masters’ Students at Botswana Open University (BOU)

Abstract

As institutions of higher learning promote support, success and completion rate for their students, learning analytics has attracted attention as a process of providing data that could inform institutional processes on diversity of learning needs and student success. Botswana Open University (BOU) has online systems that generate a lot of student data, which has not been analysed. The purpose of the study was to investigate how Learning Analytics could be used to assist programme coordinators, tutors and support services to enhance teaching and learning at BOU. // Paper ID 112
