Teachers College, Columbia University is now accepting applicants
for our new Concentration in Learning Analytics, within the Masters
program in Cognitive Studies in Education.
Admission are rolling, apply anytime.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Study the emerging field of learning analytics from
internationally-recognized experts at one of the top colleges of
education on the planet.
Over the last few years, the quantity of data about learning and
learners has grown enormously, and with it comes the potential to
improve education in ways that were difficult to imagine a few years
ago. The fields of learning analytics (LA) and educational data mining
(EDM) have emerged in recent years as communities working to answer
the question "What do we do with all of this data?"
In this concentration, you will learn key LA/EDM methodologies in
technical detail, and learn how to apply them to real-world problems.
You will learn how to use LA and EDM algorithms and tools
appropriately and effectively, and learn about relevant policy, legal,
and ethical issues involved in conducting analytics on educational
data. Your studies will be integrated with understanding of key
theories of cognition and education, preparing you to apply learning
analytics methods to make a difference in education.
The skills you learn will prepare you for a range of 21st-century
jobs, including working for educational technology companies and
startups, educational think-tanks, and in data groups at city and
state departments of education. Coursework will involve real-world
data in a range of educational domains and applications, while
integrating world-class offerings in cognition, educational theory,
and statistics and measurement.
