Learning analytics is “the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environment in which it occurs.” Competency based medical education in the 21st century will require educators be able to leverage analytics to promote individualized learning. This Webinar will introduce concepts and definitions associated with learning analytics, share examples from across the medical education continuum, discuss key considerations for implementation, and inform the audience about the future of learning analytics.
