Deliverables

Learning Analytics Internship Goals:

1. Measure student engagement and “learning” in the course (especially Early Alert, Midterm)

2. Measure effectiveness of pedagogy in online course (especially End of Year)

3. Spark interest in faculty utilization of learning analytics

4. Intern skill development and experience

Project Examples

Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
