Learning Analytics service

Learning Analytics

We provide support for innovation and improvement in teaching activity by encouraging the university's academic staff to incorporate indicators in decision-making.
 
Our activity centres on three functions:
 
  • We offer the university's academic staff learning and teaching analytics through real-time interactive reports, in order to facilitate decision-making by teaching staff, programme directors, faculty managers and the Office of the Vice Rectors.
  • We provide academic data to teaching and research staff at the university who are interested in developing research and innovation projects, drawing on institutional records containing information on areas such as student admissions to the university, enrolment, participation in assessment activities, activities carried out in classrooms, academic results and student satisfaction.
  • We support the university's governing bodies and committees with indicators on strategic academic matters, designing and executing processes to conduct research into and assess institutional innovation projects

 

Educational Trends and Innovation Observatory

Detecting good practice and innovation in teaching and learning
 
We detect good practice, observe new pedagogical approaches and follow technology and innovation in teaching and learning to determine what is happening in the educational, social and employment fields, analyse trends and produce documents and projects based on our conclusions. This enables us to:
 
  • Generate strategic reports that help the institution to incorporate these analyses. 
  • Apply the latest improvements and trends to the UOC's model.
  • Keep abreast of the latest developments in online learning.
We focus on research into these topics, on the most influential experts in the field of education and technology, and on networks and organizations related to education and international policy, which continuously generate articles and reports of interest to the educational community.
 
 
Dissemination of trends analyses and practices at the eLearning Innovation Center and the UOC
 
We share and disseminate our knowledge and the progress we make, within and outside the UOC, to continue to create opinion and be influential in the following areas:
 
  • Methodological trends.
  • Instructional design. 
  • Online educational technology.
To do so, the Educational Trends and Innovation Observatory participates in the creation of content through various channels and workspaces at the UOC.
