Unit 2.2. How to make data-informed teaching and learning interventions through reports?
In the learning design phase (unit 1), teachers need to design metacognitive teaching and learning strategies and decide which data will be necessary and important for the analysis. Then, they have to configure and set up the learning environment accordingly before the data are collected. In the teaching and learning phase (unit 2), teachers have to examine the generated data and analyse them. During this phase, they can spot possible learning design problems, identify students who are succeeding or struggling and observe tendencies in accessing learning resources. According to these data, they can make informed decisions and interventions.
Subunit 2.1. introduced a list of Moodle reports that generate data about learners’ engagement and learning progress. As outlined in 2.1, it is important to analyse data at the group/class level and individual student level and data can provide important insights on students’ engagement, learning progress and overall performance. This subunit focuses on generated data that could inform teachers about the teaching and learning interventions needed.
