011: Learning Data and Analytics

July 17, 2018

Learning data - it's a huge topic. How do you collect and use information generated by the employees/students taking your courses? There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to collecting and using learning data, but in today's episode we talk about some things to consider.

You may be wondering how motorcycles and learning data connect - listen in today as my guest Anthony Altieri talks us through this burning question. Anthony is a proud IDIoT - instructional developer for the Internet of Things, xAPI enthusiast, LMS guy and all round tech geek - so you know I enjoyed talking with him. More bio to be updated shortly.

During our conversation, a major thunder storm rolled through and interrupted our conversation, but we rescued it and were able to finish up. Good think I had my Monk's Prayer tea to keep me calm, cool and collected! (Did I mention it is delicious? And, I think you should consider trying it)
What's in this Episode:

what is xAPI
our role as a cost centre in the business
who is responsible for xAPI and learning data
