An important principle of our work is partnership with students, A key way we learn from them is through our award-winning #CurriculumDesign #StudentPanel: ow.ly/rSNW50A8PNC

Does the use of #LearningAnalitycs to improve #LearningDesign work? We believe it does and have been finding evidence of its impact. See one of our most recent publications (in English and Spanish) here: revistas.uned.es/index.php/r… #eLearning #LearningOnline

Although a growing number of students make use of social media, this doesn't always extend to use beyond friends and family. How do you ensure these students are not missing the content you share through these channels? #OnlineLearning #learningDesign
A group of 95 students told us about their social media habits in relation to study. 21 reserve social media for friends and family. Added to 23 who don't use social media at all, this leaves only 54% reachable through this channel.
