Teaching and Learning Innovation at the University of Melbourne manages centrally supported learning technologies including Canvas LMS, EchoVideo, and Cadmus. As students and staff engage with these platforms, they generate valuable data that can be analysed to understand learner behaviour and online engagement.
Learning analytics leverages this data to improve teaching and learning outcomes. As custodians of both the learning technologies and the learning analytics data they produce, Teaching and Learning Innovation has developed this site to consolidate the learning analytics available directly through these tools with the additional learning analytics services Teaching and Learning Innovation provides.
