| Prompt | Answer |
|---|---|
| Doctor Analogy for Analytics | Describe Symptoms -> Diagnose / Explain Why -> Predict Outcome -> Prescribe Treatment / Take Action |
| Analytics Type: Descriptive | Facts: "What happened in the PAST?" Based on data gathered from information. |
| Analytics Type: Diagnostic | Answers "Why?" "Why did it happen?" Analyzes PAST Information to Find Out "Why?" |
| Analytics Type: Predictive | Makes Predictions. Uses data from the PAST to predict the FUTURE. "What is likely to happen?" |
| Analytics Type: Prescriptive | Suggests Solutions. Offers Recommendations Based on Possible Outcomes. Identifies the Best Outcomes. "What should be done in the FUTURE?" |
| Define: Quantitative Analysis | Data, Facts, and Numbers. Often used in Descriptive Analytics. |
| Define: Qualitative Analysis | Subjective. Observations, Reflections, and Interviews. Often used in Diagnostic Analytics, |
| Define: Social Network Analysis | Patterns and Trends in Relationships. {Learner x Learner, Learner x Instructor} Often used in Predictive Analytics |
| Define: Data For Improvement | "How to Improve?" Identify Weaknesses in Course. Make Data Informed Decisions. |
| Define: Data For Research | "What is happening?" Gather and Generate Knowledge About Aspects of the Learning Process. Study behaviors, patterns, and effectiveness. Often uses comparison. |
| Define: Data For Accountability | "Where is it working? Why are there issues?" Assess Performance, Demonstrate Efficiency |
| Define: Data For Interpretation | The Process of deriving insights from data |
| Data Collection Ethics | Consider Privacy and Impact. Use Empathy |
| Data: Activity Measures | Learner Participation |
| Data: Performance Measures | How well learners trained. Instructor Performance, Impact on Business Goals. "Did it decrease costs?" |
| What is Nominal Data? | Named Data Only. No Numbers. Separates Data into Categories. Nominal data is labels or names with no order. 🔹 Example: Hair color (blonde, brown, black) 🔹 Just categories—can't be ranked or measured. |
| What is Ordinal Data? | Ordinal data is ordered categories, but no exact difference between them. 🔹 Example: Survey ratings (poor, fair, good, excellent) 🔹 You can rank, but can't do math with them |
| What is Interval Data? | Interval data has equal spacing between values, but no true zero. 🔹 Example: Temperature in °C or °F 🔹 You can add/subtract, but not multiply/divide |
| What is Ratio Data? | Ratio data has equal intervals and a true zero point. 🔹 Example: Weight, height, time, money 🔹 You can do all math operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide) |
| What are Scoring Guides? | Guide to assist with grading or scoring. Examples: Rubrics or Structured Observation Guides |
| Educational Data Mining: User Knowledge Modeling | What Content Does the Learner Know? |
| Educational Data Mining: User Behavior Modeling | Meaning of Patterns. Are students motivated? |
| Educational Data Mining: User Experience Modeling | Are Learners Satisfied? |
| Educational Data Mining: User Profiling | What groups do learners cluster into? |
| Educational Data Mining: Domain Modeling | How should modules be divided? |
| Educational Data Mining: Learning Component / Instructional Principal Analysis | What Components Work? |
| Educational Data Mining: Trend Analysis | What changes over time? |
| Educational Data Mining: Adaptation / Personalization | How to personalize the learning experience for each learners needs. |
