Analytics for Learning: Leveraging Data for Effective Training

6 Outubro–7 Novembro 2025
O curso está disponível em English
Apresentação do curso

In the world of education and training today, we are surrounded by data—clicks, completion rates, feedback forms, assessments, attendance logs, platform reports. But for many educators and institutions, having data does not mean using data effectively.

Too often, we’re left asking:

  • What is this data actually telling me?
  • How do I know if learners are really engaging—or just going through the motions?
  • Which activities help learners progress, and which ones fall flat?
  • Is our training programme aligned with what learners and institutions need most?

These are the right questions. But without a structured, intentional approach to collecting, organizing, and analyzing learning data, they remain unanswered.

This course is designed to help you bring structure, clarity, and purpose to your use of data—not as an abstract technical skill, but as a foundational part of good teaching, effective training, and institutional learning.

Why Data Matters in Learning?

In modern learning environments, especially those that blend online and offline methods, we generate an enormous volume of data. But:

  • This data is often scattered across platforms and tools, making it hard to interpret.
  • Educators and training teams lack shared frameworks or strategies for using this data meaningfully.
  • Decisions are still frequently based on intuition — when evidence-based decisions could have more impact.

A structured data approach allows us to move from questions to insights, and from insights to action. When combined with the possibilities offered by AI, we can not only see what’s happening in real time, but begin to understand why—and what we might do differently.

Perfil dos participantes

This course is ideal for professionals who care deeply about improving the way people learn and grow in training environments:

  • Educators, trainers, and instructional designers who want to better understand what works in their teaching—and why.
  • Training managers, course coordinators, and institutional staff responsible for overseeing programmes and ensuring alignment with strategic goals.
  • Learning teams working with digital platforms who want to move from guesswork to informed decision-making.
  • Anyone who feels unsure how to move from data collection to data action—and is ready to start.

No advanced technical or coding background is required. Just a curiosity to explore and the desire to do better with what you already have.

Learning Goals

By the end of the course, you will:

  1. Understand the basics of learning analytics—what kinds of data exist in your learning environment, and how to interpret them meaningfully.
  2. Use data at the micro level to understand how learners are engaging with your content, where they struggle, and how to support them better.
  3. Work with data at the meso level to identify patterns across courses or departments—what’s working, what’s not, and how to adapt.
  4. Interpret data at the macro level to support planning, reporting, and strategic decisions across your institution or programme.
  5. Explore how AI is changing the landscape of learning analytics—and how to start using simple AI tools to get clearer insights.
Course Outline
  • Introduction to data analytics in the learning and training sector
  • Types of data relevant to analytics for learning
  • Tools and techniques for data collection and analysis
  • Using analytics for instructional design
  • Tracking learner progress and achievement
  • Communication outreach strategies based on data insights
  • Analyzing data for a collection of courses or curriculum
  • Making informed decisions on course management and improvement
  • Implementing data-driven strategies for course alignment and effectiveness
  • Governance insights through data analytics
  • Using data to inform institutional policies and decisions
  • Future trends in analytics for learning
  • Predictive analytics and the role of AI in data processing 

Each week will consist of video lectures, readings, case studies, discussions, and practical assignments to reinforce learning objectives. Participants will engage in collaborative activities and have access to expert feedback and support throughout the course.

What You'll Take Away

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:

  • Identify what learning data to collect—and why
  • Ask the right questions to analyse and interpret data meaningfully
  • Apply frameworks at multiple levels: learner, course, institution
  • Use basic tools and techniques (no coding required) to support analytics
  • Explore how AI can help educators, not overwhelm them

You’ll gain both conceptual clarity and practical confidence—and take your first steps toward building a data-driven, evidence-based learning environment.
