External sources of literature - learning analytics for the quality of course design

Conduct independent research using the available materials (guidelines and examples) on learning analytics, focusing on the interpretation of learning design quality evaluation.

The instructor encourages participants to check the indicators provided for their course design in the BDP tool (learning-design.eu) and to discuss possible interpretations within their team.

Learning design analytics can also be created independently using spreadsheets if you are using tools that do not include built-in analytics.

Select two titles from the articles and book chapters provided for independent study.
