ABSTRACT
We present a Connected Learning Analytics (CLA) toolkit, which enables data to be extracted from social media and imported into a Learning Record Store (LRS), as defined by the new xAPI standard. A number of implementation issues are discussed, and a mapping that will enable the consistent storage and then analysis of xAPI verb/object/activity statements across different social media and online environments is introduced. A set of example learning activities are proposed, each facilitated by the Learning Analytics beyond the LMS that the toolkit enables.

Social learning analytics: five approaches
LAK '12: Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Learning Analytics and KnowledgeThis paper proposes that Social Learning Analytics (SLA) can be usefully thought of as a subset of learning analytics approaches. SLA focuses on how learners build knowledge together in their cultural and social settings. In the context of online social ...
Learning Analytics Data Flow and Visualizing for Ubiquitous Learning Logs in LMS and Learning Analytics Dashboard
Distributed, Ambient and Pervasive InteractionsAbstractIn this paper, we describe about a kind of data flow design that between ubiquitous learning log system called SCROLL and learning analytics and visualizing system called Learning Analytics Dashboard (LAD). SCROLL is a ubiquitous learning system ...
