<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: 12px;">ACADEMIC ANALYTICS AND LEARNING ANALYTICS - is there a difference?</span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13pt; margin: 7.5pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Phil Long and George Siemens wrote an article in 'Educause Review' in September/October 2011 that provides a handy definition of Academic Analytics and Learning Analytics. T</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">he article states that</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> “</span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: small;">learning analytics </b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">is
the measurement, collection, analysis
and reporting of data about learners
and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimising learning
and the environments in which it occurs". </span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: small;">Academic analytics</b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> is the "application of business intelligence in education and emphasizes
analytics at institutional, regional, and
international levels". The table below from page 34 of the publication, delineates the level of analysis and the end user of these analytical approaches:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: 12px;">I think that both play a key roe in education analytics, and consider academic analytics to be more focused on the student and outcomes, and learning analytics to consider the behaviours and interactions that occur throughout the process. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Here's some criteria that I apply to determine whether an institution has advanced beyond academic analytics to learning analytics:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: 12px;">(1) are they using data from a learning management or related system?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: 12px;">(2) are they applying statistical methods, e.g. clustering or regression? and</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: 12px;">(3) have they linked learning behaviours to characteristics of the student, and their outcomes?</span></span></div>
