Playing by The Doors
My name is John Vivolo. I am the manager of Online Learning for NYU-Poly.
The Polytechnic institute of New York University.
I guess I played The Door because the theme is
riding the storm. The presentation is Improving Course Performance/Interaction through
Analytics and Proactive Methods of Engagement what that means essentially is
taking a look at the numbers that are generated through analyst, most learning
management systems you can generate numbers, graphs and excels
and you can
easily take those numbers and
improve
engagement and performance of students
Now, I am not, I come of a background of liberal arts
before joining NYU-Poly, I just checked in with the school
Which is a Polytechnic institute, I taught online for about a hundred online
classes
over the course of 8 years
if there was an advanced working from any other much veteran and uh... chosen
to do all that
i am not a mathematician
mass extension you don't need at those fields
will preferably uses analytics
to prove in the middle of the semester not interested to know
sold for two proactive
uh... rather than reactive
so looking online learning analytical like this one
complicated cloud of numbers
and so on and we think that that's going out of it looks like this and
allowing
i don't have time and that's these numbers and patterns
but the truth is
if a student in algeria storm storms are not pass
before you call me or specific weather patterns in specific areas
it does interactions and recent learned of toxic soup
it specifically
analytics when people building i'm natalie allen
uh... doesn't there and i think we can get this
proactively middle semester i've tried to use my own places and it at and when
husband trying to get
you'd want to use it as well
use it as well so oracle course the point where it downstairs
confined water in the past
a department store
and other practical uses of course it analytics that anybody can use to
improve interaction in performance
during a semester
sold for two days reactive and proactive
or i mean by that most of the time
we're reacting to the issues such as
making changes to of course after poor student performance with access to power
the revised course
so those are reacting after the fact
proactive districts in a preventive measures
using analyst possibly
prior to an assignment on an exam
classic methods of improvement performance interaction
was important refer to interaction i'm going to student student
that seems to be interaction possibly using elaborate foodstuffs and whatever
it may be
but also reproduced in that city
students is doing and when they go in front of the aisle altman villain begets
identikit beside
things like that
but classic methods are still israelis if the surveys you can
middle of the end the semester
as well as academic department evaluations as well
so pissed at you know it was not a democrat in the east
but uh... they're reacted but always usually at the end the semester
uh... students this
it did not honest
it's just no indeed read a bit
until i was taken seriously diplomat quickly either online or in class
uh... immigration oxley it
so they may not be peeps with lenses
students eight new didn't like me you didn't like the course
because up until all of the course is wonderful to begin
truthful answers all time
to rely on the east but
ances academic department rations
also usually ends master of business to the pending when
pia on started if it does indictment the professor
if you consider online let's
uh... i don't look as depicted in the courts and in fact the activity
so there are three types of analytics that we're going to use
hopefully proactively
so we have tried base when students passes the course
individual summer project
how walkmans
has to be stateside toxic listens to it
uh... and discuss your talented students active in discussion works
let's take a look so time is that activity
course standing at the very next to see you have has heated analytics we've got
to work
uh... many of the systems have needed to simply political report any particular
requiring uh... technical skills
tuesday for the return of the day
days a month
uh... analyst can implement improvements in profitability is not due date
webinars virtual office towers and so on
this is an example from for the polygraph
in which uh...
is one of course
and its full online online
courses are graduate level
uh... but doesn't matter undergraduate graduate
activities to usually connected it's just bad reports have repeatedly to
enter into the course
no i'm not judging whether or not it should or shouldn't be more or less ivy
network to all of you a little any better than that but
decide what's the right about not responding uses report that was wrong
that whatever works
so i can use these numbers
so fifty six of fifteen students going about it was three times a week
feel is a professor uh... told program director at look at this website is this
enough do you want students to go in as much
capsule eight
health issues going on
how much time to actually spent of course you can say that it takes four
hours a week successfully of work with judy garland six of one of the political
intact
this italian
appointment was the patterns of thurday hectic day
uh... b
of the year
for the week which is the
tuesday and thursday there's no activity
and it seems to be a lot of activity on monday
about forty one percent everybody's many going back okay so it's not week
someone monday long weekend
i guess it depends on the you demographics of your students as well
all day working students uh... available uh... probably working students of a
full-time student shipments in the demographics other international and
national
available
so this is the same
type cases the state courts
this is about how it's good that what i'd say go
so that we use these numbers
it's easy to peak time for this week was around eleven twelve o'clock
about reports that people don't know how much time
if they're working
students who are working full time jobs on boat people and we can't seem to be
going to have much and of course
every moment was always has the
late hours people always working
so in all this information that people for this class are going in a certain on
certain times of the week
certain days a week
so what is your goal as a professor at the one teaching a course
is it your college students get
but is it took me to claim custody captivity
that you're not concerned about before see any sort of
interaction policy extraction method
which you want a college student schedule you know
uh... he eight articulated by making mckinsey and continued to decide that
anaesthesia forces to make that available at the peak of activity
correct beforehand
so you know that you can make the cut in available or have a lot eleven are from
host ritual salazar give us i was doing when people don't know most boastful
owner
he's your goal to create equal distribution effectively
throughout the week
where you are less concerned about how many students and more concerned about
making sure they did it go with him
uh... at least for fox four five times a week ago looking at me
the content
coming to the webinars and you want to make sure your dictating the terms
i'm leading up to
professor securitization yet
uh... solution
is to make hotmail dot the lowest point in that case
tuesday and thursday cuz you want to get some more activity
specifically in the discussion board to get a little later and you want
discussion happen over the course of the week not on
when it was going on when you did you decide what the
with the exception
and the global solutions on a talk a lot about is this interaction housing to
standpoint and from it
and a lot of other schools used instead
uh...
exhibit director policy was reversed suit
not only the student student patented interactivity
uh... collaborative
told also want students to go away
happiest when i
to interpretation
the required to have some sort of method says this how interactive site when you
should do it
uti academic departments choose to do it
choose if they want to have this or that
low relative vestiges of so as a paragraph providing details about how
attractive
wheaton online course
interaction possibly include
weekly discussion boards have webinars chat rooms
the apollo thirteen within
lost or any other clever to use
so usually also contains dates
one student is required to interact in the courts
now consider that
that someone has great interaction policy
this is a lot of course
uh... twenty students different course a one-week activity
where we notice here
georgian forty-two picts
a lot
so twenty students to go in a a lot to an early are you happy with that
have you you look at this is all about this job going on
but we can still take a look at the numbers and see that they peaking wrong
uh... on the fourth day of the week which is uh...
on wednesday
about twenty four percent going a but the same time as the feel of amount of
time on sunday
only about six percent said you need to look at these numbers mister
is this could not be identified complete distribution groups to meet everybody
goes exactly
you know twenty percent e_c_'s it these people understand that
and days that week
uh... briefly and dozens of times a day
uh... it seems that people are going in
this is around eight nine ten in the morning
and they're going in a row and twelve point to hit lunch
of course is always estimate that people were accessed twenty three oh dear
we're still apartment going lee
and also selected because you hear about one two three mornings
wheels on earnings
you also hear good morning
attitude
interfacing going back to this
that state
you have
interaction policy in place was also good of economics that you can check
if you'd like to policies work
this arguments so spoiler
uh... this class has an international policy
that says
uh... they must go into the second hour by
uh... wednesday at the week about me
well with all the activity
is on wednesday instantly to listen to do stuff police are going on wednesday
and up still is a native son
alone out but uh... stocks or bonds didn't is that we can look at this
carpet direct deposit record in between
so started
uh... individual scientific content orbits
you're the winner for two days going into the course of this is really doing
something
this refers to contract
how often student views final document pocket for young women are set up
uh... and avoid a wait-and-see approach and this is what i think mister about
the most
we have a week that you are the listener lectures about topic and then you get
quips anne doses are used in the top of the hotel a product of liquid
you know they have done well
uh... you began to student disabled
the one st opportunity here
stuff some students specifically international students that we do it
v as becomes a cultural thing we don't want to say that they're struggling to
retool
with intel's
so distant ways he approaches can be dangerous
using analytics you can succeed
instant understandably which is another tool actually accident
you're competing against them
but uh...
project example
of course number one
this is a different course
so i think i would say the podcast
twenty minute but
one week of activity
here we have our class
seven students and each
one of these days
how many times
date
gandhi podcast
all right so thirteen seventy six ten
etalaat
if a court appointed pockets
i know we all love
contradictory and i'm sure you think you're twenty minute lectures so when it
was two twenty two thirteen times
i don't think so
the digest the happens into thirteen times
we can infer that's a possibility especially since it was seventy six
that may be used in some of the student to type
we'd like to see go okay last week
expletives and says look at this into the law
i thought it was simple
so but according to this people with a list of it
over to implement it
it seems that this was when i walked right out of the conflict
but i've never seen any class
comes into one of my pocket stuart sometimes
so highly active analytics downloads information proactive
uh... before leon panetta enforceable backwards
ought to be discussion board culinary
uh... rave reviews sheet for that
uh...
for that particular atopic
the host a meeting with an r_b_i_ doing there
and we will create a non-paid clips
just approached the students
well you tell them you track how many times they view it
fits me go back to accumulate the upon
accept even some people get very
up what who will go over that uh... don't want to talk about some q and a
to be very concerned that it's very sort of big brother went out and watching
we'll try to find a positive
use update we contract
when people go into canada when i walked about how do you think positive way
to improve
so this is the more common where nixon of course project
video gets one week of activity
and we have
alright one-time y three times that's fine
but still thirteen times to number one of the bed
now that needs to do it without it
was a more likely student may it be struggling to talk to keep this into
again and again and again
uh... if it was about what to expect d'souza institute
you don't want pro-market has become a torpedo sours
uh... sometimes they feel that they can come speak to you online or
yet hopefully you have a virtual sours laura eleven-hour session
for
if agents and unions and confused
what people acted method
do that wants to be a simple rejecting adjusted for a one-on-one review
before the exam cops before the next thing so you don't get bogged down in
for five weeks it
topics or exam comes in a student doesn't do what they didn't understand
three weeks ago
but now you can't be activities and want to be thirty times maybe struggle
so discussion boards
most commonly used interactive tool
uh...
uh... it might be and i i would imagine
that most people agree that it's
purpose is to stimulate investors question
but in the simplest method
always used a lot discussed what is the classic
on tool activities anything
we have a little bit engineering uh... classes and such security
and pressure gauge necklaces tonight
sometimes argument between is a big big big tobacco begins
discussion board
so is an outlet for discussion board
it's hard to tell the people going about the individual postsynaptic tuesday
wednesday thursday friday
what we don't have a nice one
sentiment set that's when all the activities happening
uh... zero percent monday to thursday
i would think that
nobody likes that
industry
you want the anti-buchanan
this
it to create a discussion animated flick conversation over the week
not created quite satisfied
regardless of its schedule
but once again to give you one of how many students just hard to have a on
on my discussion
worked on discussed performance something
this is a different analytic
lukewarm distribution
still the peak is happening
on thursday
with about that forty percent
and sunday
i'm not so hot
unexplored
he suddenly distribution of it
but i'm looking at this is a professor and i write and i said okay this
discussion had to sort of distribution of personally
why did this work
at work because the professor
at any uh...
interaction policy
for discussion board to make over a specific discussion board interaction
policy
but you're not having any distribution you don't like that uh... process under
discussion board
uh... doesn't seem to be
doesn't seem to be flown christie todd week was composed all questions randomly
wonderful things along with special professors
everybody answers
question from fellow students
there and i was gonna answer
redress that
so we drink specials more interaction policy
this is an example of a real
a polygraph policy that was based goreham
the evidence that a professor at
he decided to go in this economy discussion work was to be
so this person would imagine policy
response my unanswered questions
you must both of these was before thursday do we couldn't more time for
the next week
sometimes we have more than one topic which means to be deposed export homes
and these were people it's mostly black and white about those dudes
exposes simulating as a special talking
uh... and he puts a great night it is of course and every week it was rejected by
the correction
but what's really great zip
it's easy to get the overall
the lol workout when had
are
so a lot of proactive meant is that we could use a at poly
is a attendance alerts
where cancer and that would be a student battened onassis the course
uh... and said he was all seven days to everybody
uh... i don't do this as a sort of uh...
you know paddling on someone that you would think that
i thought the professor feisty
that bourbon and i think that was going on depend on the course for a week
that and i would appreciate but you can get a early warnings was not the only
thing in the student government are about to be
uh... purged it would be richard course
uh... so i'm confident nurses is good because
the student is not axis account in the senate
uh... after a week
hitler
no you know the student what's going on is everything ok
we'd it's provide project before
before damage is done
and yes i'm in two days one of my favorite ones
uh... tomorrow here is don's and professor its report before students
happens that the people
yes and if you'd like to meet with me
but they haven't submitted the paper as do in twenty four
threatened to me captain ano na without actually having to go to look at
reneged report or
as well as the test tube doesn't selina pate
so managing director of the people are mad as you know program
uh... if it's messed up or not
yes you can use the analytics for
online faculty oversight eh...
uh... gave me flip it for faculty
are they interact with students
when and how they interacted
and some use of analytics
and slim something use of the adults to just give you plug these well if u
overseeing
how faculty
uh... actually tito
and of course was one of the biggest thing
are storming through more sense
gleeful
so these are all proactive methods of trying to before not punish
not be probably watching what you doing
let's see how we can improve during a semester
not ect
via o'brien
covered everything uh... and we have some time department with gpa himself
uh...
imprisonment
we need
yes
this is the quick question when you're showing and literally are talking about
using them to be proactive um... just within your faculty
cd analytics back to their own students to say this is what i'm seeing
help make it dis
some do
but then you run the risk of student
fearing that they're being watched
i recommend not to
suggested as an addendum struggling
sentencing on him
sucks and i'm really
isaac but not too
whispered
right
uh... there's a in the back of a about
com
to prospective couple to report to be sure with those
not to want to a specific placed you're obviously was that student interaction
with the really want blues unique it's or where the area it's
illini
steering and your question i had was who's running the reporter you were
newsmen disseminating out without a clear the faculty actually reading these
annualized me alex b uh... later ones that were the ditional uh...
efficiently division reporter
i don't know that you get into the faculty
and eight
it directly how they talk to students
ait sick anything up for the faculty of course enabling the reports
pushed into trying to report trying to do it
and try to you know paperback it's about frank if you do it as much as possible
to show it's not a lot of work to twelve so i definitely don't want to we wanted
to take the pictures
said question for you as calls for their the room as well
interaction policy is that something the you have set that the institutional
ehlers of something you're urging each faculty member to set independently and
can aspect to that
all the for us redress said deed
online
we have affected oversight reported too far apart for
contracts and he said we want to the park
some departments academic performance over except security have gone a step
further and said that
we we don't want just interaction policy were required live one artistically
not just a second masculine date decide p
departments we want to sparked
will push back the it's worthwhile
they just want to know you're defining interaction
you are you looking to see a doing more than just reply like buying green using
any kind of presence around
right uh... most the time when you discussed with politically correct
specifically discussion boards
uh... moses harm when i speak to faculty
that it has to be well thought out substantial responses
and as a part of creating polytechnic policy debate make then that decision
but a lot of our course of course are out
decades
so it's about about that
posting their problems
messages rather than just explain parrot the parrot is returning to school
this sort of follows up that question com grading the discussion boards for
person at the grade do you feel is adequate for it
the discussion were being so important in an online environment
uh...
for liberal arts the tide accredited
finally split
twenty or thirty percent
and it was attacked as part of the attendance policy
uh... before our horses are faculty because it's a engineering science and
engineering technology school
he she did ten percent
justice that's if you had up uh... showing uh... sometimes a student
persons had access individual items
uh... yeah thirty times on the d podcast could that also mean though that
students are
multitasking which i did to make things at one time and so they go back into the
second time third-time four-time all institute for determining an and go back
but
yes that raised the flag of whites to be getting it from a ***
professor could reach out to say is everything ok
of the students and staff
and then the decision of the why when it comes to unique thirteen times sketch
that way
on that same subject when i see thirteen times i said there's some technology
problem
uh...
and so that that would be that
one thinks that i would reach out to the in response to the the question from the
other side of the room
university of massachusetts boston
in our online program for our one off course is the man that really associate
with a with an online degree
we leave it up to the faculty but when we do training
we like deathly cold for best practices and stats possibly for discussion forums
and suggests that the require a posting
uh... in response to the main prompt mid-week and then
require a reply to any response from another student
fire by some point late in the week
i have some questions about the screen she were showing assume that that's
blackboard
learn nine
when you said black one board analytics
you mean bodies inmate to learn nine dot the additional package the blackboard
dot com sells blackboard alex that we're looking into
uh... as as originally i had to be better larger more much more robust way
of looking at
possibly program rather best practices for simple used and the fact that they
could pick up you it would work on it we're kinda looking at it from two
points of view what actually gets into the database regardless of of what
you're using to report
there's a lot more in the database of learn nine then
the inmate
analytics in martin
ports then what does blackboard analytics on top of that report and what
doesn't report and
when might we have to go to open
didi
which is the protocol to get at the database etc with an external tool
so continued yeah chennai we're here
effective evander yesterday's
and uh... we do that as well to best practices to professors specifically
professors
discussion boards
we went to his suggests faculty of lying about my classes met faithfully special
you know in class you have a discussion something so why can't be simulated
online as well
thank you just a comment to follow up on uh... to that
comets coordinated
and that these are really
server statistics out that
i think that you need to we need to think about
towards the really tell you about the learning that's taking place whether
weather factor really were learning analytics realizing the learning that's
going on so i think they're great for looking at like red flags
uh... that could be thrown out that might indicates some kind of learning
problem going on but
you know for the stupid gets it
and doesn't necessarily need to engage in and you know can do that would still
get a good great miller with the need to learn
to service the two sticks or
cell like the red flags good approach to take
it's very interesting the way that you've
uh... using me analytics and i was thinking about
what this gentleman said and
uh... we have a couple of faculty who
use like google forms
to do
kind of proactive
feedback from students during the quarter
at the beginning of a marginal
uh... what do you what did you get from the last one house the pacing or at the
end of a module you know what was the most significant thing
serve alike
angelo and process classroom assessment techniques
and that might be a nice
bridge between
the the server-side and the reaction of the students at the end of
tear with wonder experiencing via pacing
fine except that some students
if you give us signs
pacing and they all agree yeses grade one student
doesn't agree you she specifically international
while tonight
you know and they want their freedom
going against the northwest
uh... so
the idea of using
like you said made online using groups in the pool forms to uh... to the which
he's a good idea
having made the switch from
in the class time online full-time
uh... i'm finding that i spend a lot more time and i wondered if you or
anyone had some suggestions and controlling the amount of time you spend
'cause it's way past where you see here
do you mean greedy or system online you can always like yes it's discussion
lakes always checking going you know how to stick it out to be there for an hour
to
exited hands-on network for schools before turning aren't reji there
faculty moscow him
you know lands
four out of five high five s seven days in most polls
to forty percent and another twenty percent in
uh... i was always turns out that that i'd read everything
and that my questions and more facilitated that i want to students to
be it be doing discussion
backports rather than
faculty sort of controlling what discussions
you guys are or unit group and in fact we just sort of push them in the right
direction
rather than going in responding to every single posting
enough to should be respond to each other more discussion with rather than
like we're going out the rest of the questions about responding it would
better if we
were online and we're all talking a conversation i think that will
levi's and of course what omitting certain things occurred
permit posting
i might just uh...
interrupt for a moment of one of the things that's classic i think is in
order to
uh... reduce the time of uh...
of uh... faculty time
is to not uh...
introduce yourself
until
most of the class has
have the ability to
ask the questions you'll find that many of them are repetitive you probably
already found that
annie duke collect all the questions
and then
issue a statement at the end of the week rather than
constantly issuing a statement you'll be able to reduce the amount of time that
you use
to unanswered questions cause questions are usually repetitive
and so uh... and if you could broadcast those answers
to everyone rather than individually respond then you'll be able to save time
interaction
uh... i think we're at a time there
uh... over a little bit but thank you very much of a great weekend
uh...
hope to see you at another sessions to what about the car after share kar
at
useful burns
the store
or
