My Learning Analytics Research & Data

The My Learning Analytics (MyLA) project supports research into student use of learning analytics. This means that researchers will access several types of data in doing this analysis. Instructors can receive an aggregate and de-identified report after the term is over on request.

Data

  • Canvas course
  • Student use of MyLA (clickstream data)
  • Student demographic information

Access to this data falls under U-M's data governance and has been reviewed and approved by data stewards. An IRB exemption (HUM00036927) has been granted.
