Using Large-Scale LMS Data Portal Data

to Improve

Teaching and Learning

at K-StateAn LMS data portal contains select data about the instance of the learning management system (in this case, K-State Online, powered by Instructure’s Canvas LMS).

• Course Availability Dates: How early prior to the start-of-term are online courses available, and should more of them be available sooner for learner orientation and priming?

• Sections: What are use cases for restricted section access based on defined dates? How important is it for learners to select their own sections (via self-enrollment) in respective learning sequences?

• Assignments: Ungraded assignments are used for formative assessments to support learning. Should these be used more often? • Media creation assignments require higher-level and

collaborative skills of learners. Should these be assigned more often?

• What time design elements should be applied to online learning assignments, and which are most effective in which contexts?

• Learner submissions may be human_graded or auto_graded or not_graded: Which approach is the most effective and in which learning contexts? How many attempts are usually made on multi-attempt assignments? Why?

• Quizzes: What is the average value of a quiz? What do learners have to do for the earned grades?

• Grading: How quickly are grades assigned, and how information-rich are the feedback types?

• Discussion Boards: What are the workflow states of discussion boards, and which types (active or undefined) are the most effective for teaching and learning?

• Language and Labeling: Is the language used in assignments, in conversations (in-LMS emails), and other spaces the right language to use for the teaching and learning context?
