Assessment for Learning MOOC’s Updates

LEARNING ANALYTICS PLATFORM

This platform (and its analytics component) is described in the article “Learning Analytics” by AlexPlatform. alexplatform.com
How it works:

The platform captures data about learners’ interactions: how long they spend on modules, which resources they use, how they engage in discussion forums, etc. alexplatform.com

It uses dashboards (e.g., built with Power BI) to give teachers or facilitators visualizations of learner engagement, progress, activity patterns, and risk indicators. alexplatform.com

Educators are able to filter and explore learner-data at a granular level—such as identifying which students are highly engaged vs. disengaged, which topics generate many questions, and which content might need adjustment. alexplatform.com

Based on the analytics, teachers can intervene: offer additional supports, modify content, re-connect with students who are lagging, or adapt pacing.

 Overall value and recommendation

Learning analytics within environments like the aleX platform can significantly enhance both teaching and learningby providing actionable insights and fostering responsive instruction. However, successful implementation depends on teacher training, ethical use of data, and integrating insights into sound pedagogical practices—not just relying on raw metrics.
