The multidisciplinary team from the faculties of Education and Information Technology and Electrical Engineering got together to create and implement a new online learning analytics course at the University of Oulu. The goal of the course was to offer students multidisciplinary information on learning analytics applications in different contexts, and to develop and test the materials and design of the course.
The purpose of the Expertise Connections sessions was for participants to learn something about a topic where they are not experts. Community members with expertise (1) shared information and examples with participants who wanted to learn more about the topic, (2) provided a forum for participants to discuss how they might incorporate the topic into their work, and (3) brokered connections between community members who are interested in a topic.
