SHEILA

The SHEILA project will build a policy development framework that promotes formative assessment and personalized learning, by taking advantage of direct engagement of stakeholders in the development process, in order to assist European universities to become more mature users and custodians of digital data about their students as they learn online. The field of learning analytics with its associated methods of online student data analysis, holds great potential to address the challenges confronting European higher education institutions. While the use of learning analytics has gained much attention and has been/is being adopted by many higher education institutions in Europe and the world, the maturity levels of higher education institutions in terms of being ‘student data informed’ are only in the early stages. Composed of a team of research and institutional leaders in learning analytics, the SHEILA project aims to address this gap. The project will use participatory action research and the Rapid Outcome Mapping Approach (ROMA), specifically designed for policy making derived from scientific evidence. The outputs will be validated through case studies, using the policy framework to guide the development, implementation, and evaluation of learning analytics policy and strategy in four higher education institutions in different regions of Europe. The project will use innovative strategies to disseminate and translate the outputs, and to set up a long term learning analytics policy agenda and community among higher education institutions across Europe.
