Before diving into the content about approaching learning analytics at the beginning of the term, take a few moments to read the learning objectives for this module and construct responses to each of the guiding questions below. The learning objectives describe what you will do or what you will be more prepared to do at the end of this module. The guiding questions have been designed to help you make sense of approaching learning analytics in the beginning of the term in your specific teaching and learning context. You are encouraged to write or type out responses to these questions then revisit them as you progress through the module.
