Using Learning Analytics to Understand K-12 Learner Behavior in Online Video-Based Learning
Eamon Vale; Garry Falloon
Online Learning, v28 n1 p 44-68 2024
This research investigated the potential of learning analytics (LA) as a tool for identifying and evaluating K-12 student behaviors associated with active learning when using video learning objects within an online learning environment (OLE). The study focused on the application of LA for evaluating K-12 student engagement in videobased learning--an area of inquiry highlighted in literature as important but significantly under-researched. Results determined that the LA method could identify active-learning behaviors and that LA can play a valuable role in providing information on learner activity in autonomous K-12 OLEs. However, LA did not provide a complete picture of learner behavior and viewing strategies, highlighting the importance of a multi-method approach to research on K-12 online learner behaviors. It is anticipated the accessible approach outlined in this study will provide educators with a viable means of using LA techniques to better understand how learners interact with course content and learning objects, greatly assisting the design of online learning programs.
