Description:

This is a brownbag lunch session.

Elements of Success is a learning analytics intervention that the University of Iowa developed to help learners make decisions about their learning activities in large enrollment STEM courses. Currently, the system has been adopted by faculty in the Departments of Chemistry and Biology at the University of Iowa. In this presentation, Van Horne will discuss how Information Technology Services developed the data visualizations, how they collaborated with the faculty to develop and refine their interventions, and their assessment of the effect of this intervention on student learning outcomes.

Van Horne is part of the TEACHxperts speaker series.

Samuel Van Horne is the Assessment Director at the University of Iowa. He has written about assessment in active learning classrooms, large lecture transformation, and learning analytics.
