Course Overview

People involved in higher education tend to have many questions about it. Students want to know whether their performance is up to the mark, which colleges they should apply to, and which classes they should take. With the Practical Learning Analytics certification course, they can finally find the answers. Faculty members will learn about the students’ backgrounds, and whether their teaching methodologies and techniques are effective. 

Besides, staff members can also review if the advice they give students in terms of college admissions, how to achieve their goals, etc., is accurate. Administrators wanting to get in touch with their students and faculty, see how they are doing, and anticipate changes can also learn from the Practical Learning Analytics training.  Developed by the University of Michigan, the course addresses questions raised by different stakeholders, including staff, faculty, campus leaders, and especially students. 

Participants can work with standard student record data, which every campus already has. All you need for the Practical Learning Analytics online course is college-level maturity. Furthermore, giving four weeks of your time (two to eight hours/week) will be enough for the program.
