Applying learning analytics to collaborative learning

Abstract

This study applies learning analytics to measure learners’ interaction, collaboration, and engagement during the process of collaborative learning in a MOOCs enabled course. The learning analytics provide instructors with visualized analysis of learners’ engagement for better understanding of learners’ collaboration with co-learners and interaction with course context. In addition, the learning analytics enable instructors to identify at-risk learners who have difficulties in collaboration and then trigger early intervention strategy. Our study shows that the learning analytics can successfully identify 85 % of students who were at-risk in collaboration, and over 60 % of the identified at-risk learners can improve their collaboration with early interventions.
