If your scale reports that your weight is constantly increasing, what's your reaction? If your weblog reported that you are writing at a Grade Six level and recommended more reading, what would you do? There's a lot of talk about learning analytics, mostly by people wanting to use them to grade people (and maybe spy on them) but the killer app for analytics isn't any of this, it's self-reporting for self-improvement. Why has it taken so long for educators to see the potential for such feedback? "Why has this not entered education research earlier? Mostly, I believe, it has to do with the fact that the understanding of ‘learning’ in the educational sciences is often restricted to academic learning and knowledge acquisition, not focused on behavioural learning which is a domain of Psychology."

What type of information would provide better value? Via Nellie Deutsch in the edumooc Facebook group.
