2 September 2020: iLearn Insights: monitoring student engagement and enabling personalised messages

Presenter: Shamim Joarder (Macquarie University, Australia)

This session explored an analytics toolset for timely online teaching intervention. The application titled "iLearn Insights" was designed to assist academic staff in understanding levels of student engagement on online units within the Moodle LMS by selecting an appropriate combination of student unit access, assignment on time submission and or achieving above a required grade. Teaching staff are able to use the system to send timely messages in support of student success. Shamim won the 'Innovation award' for iLearn Insights at the annual 2019 Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education (ASCILITE) Conference in Singapore.
