Designing an Online Course on Learning Analytics for Educators: Preliminary Insights from a Scoping Review

Abstract

This paper presents a project to develop graduate digital future work skills in data analytics. We describe a review activity carried out to guide the collaborative development of content for an online Data Analytics Course for Educators in Malaysia and the United Kingdom. Our methodology for systematically searching online learning platforms for current courses is described. We also give an overview of our preliminary findings in relation to the duration of learning, the types of online materials used and the range of topics included. Finally we describe our future plans to review the quality of the courses in relation to the depth, scope and complexity of the learning they promote.
