    Learning Analytics Report - Now Available

    ITRS is excited to announce the release of the new Learning Analytics Report (LAR). Learning analytics is best described as the process of interpreting course data collected from online interactions with content, activities, and other individuals. The goal is to use this information to improve student engagement and learning outcomes in future courses. The LAR currently presents course and student data from LOCUS, Sakai, Panopto, and Zoom. To access your LAR, you must schedule a 30-minute consultation with a Learning Design Engineer. Due to data protections, only the instructor of record for the course may access the LAR. For more information on this initiative, visit Learning Analytics. To request your LAR and to schedule a consultation, visit LAR Request Form. You will be prompted to enter your Loyola UVID and password.LEARN MORE
