Press Release: 15 December 2020<\/p>\n
\n\u2192 Get involved in the <\/strong>Big Data project for education<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The money was awarded to projects that seek to mitigate the health, social, economic, cultural, and environmental impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak. Klik2learn\u2019s data analytics project includes the development of learning analysis software to support better educational outcomes for students.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the project, Ann Attridge, CEO of Klik2learn, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cEducators have risen to the challenge of COVID-19 by adopting a range of online learning systems at speed and with limited resources. What is not understood is the impact of various online activities; self-directed, peer-to-peer, tutor-supported, immersive learning, and gamification on young people and their educational outcomes. The funding from UKRI and Innovate UK comes at an important time, allowing us to provide educators with evidence- based research on the effectiveness of different types of online learning.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
While other sectors of the economy such as finance and retail have sophisticated methods of analysing huge amounts of data to improve services, the education sector is behind the curve in applying data analytics to drive better outcomes. The project will analyse learning networks of teachers, resources, and learners in order to recommend effective pedagogical interventions and measure their success.<\/p>\n
