X-Ray Learning Analytics Reporting capabilities: Visualized Insights

X-Ray Learning Analytics helps instructors who use Moodle gain deep insight into Learners and course materials by providing reporting tools that visually show risk, activity, grade information and discussion/ community interactions. In addition, X-Ray Learning Analytics connects to your institution’s LMS to custom tune the data models on a regular basis to insure X-Ray results apply to your institution. X-Ray Learning Analytics provides an exhaustive number of visualizations and reports to enable instructors to improve the teaching and learning process. We selected a representative sample of the visual reports/ graphs for four key areas that instructors would find insightful and actionable.

X-Ray Learning Analytics for Deep Insight into Learners & Course Materials

Understand, Diagnose, Act Today’s instructors are teaching at a rapidly changing time, with technology becoming an increasingly important part of the educational experience of learners. The growing use of technology is generating mountains of data that can provide insights if harnessed and analyzed with a focus on what teachers need and what research has found to make a difference in student achievement. The online learning analytics available through the LMS can enable deeper engagement with learners, help instructors save time facilitating courses and aid in the assessment of new learning models.

Instructors need analytic tools built for them that provide easily-accessible, deep insights into student behaviors, course material interactions, and performance. X-Ray Learning Analytics can help instructors who use Moodle to: ›› Identify and focus on at-risk students ›› Gain deep insights into student behavior and Student Risk Assessment

The risk measures table calculates an overall risk for each student that draws on multiple data points, including their academic risk, social risk, and time spent in the course.

performance drivers ›› Develop strong learner communities through discussions, materials, and assessments ›› Effectively and efficiently manage course activities and materials

These capabilities directly benefit instructors enabling them to: ›› Drive improved learning outcomes by identifying at-risk learners and recommending specific actions in a timely fashion ›› Promote greater student satisfaction through discussions, materials, and assessments ›› Select and develop activities and materials that positively impact the learning experience ›› Simplify and enhance course facilitation for instructors ›› Drive deeper interaction and adoption of LMS Today’s instructors require analytic tools to manage

maximum student engagement and success. X-Ray Learning Analytics enables easy access to student activity data, reveals key quantitative and qualitative insights and provides tools to engage with students to make a positive impact. Through rigorous academic research and three years of pilot testing, X-Ray for Learning Analytics has proven algorithms that drive the reporting and analytic predictive models. These tools uniquely provide a way to move beyond single measures of effort in standard reports to create more robust indicators of quality student work and interaction. Furthermore, custom data mining is conducted for each institution, tailoring algorithms to the unique use of Moodle at that institution.
