  Blog Quote Of The Day
 
 
 
Open Source Tools for Learning Data Analysis, Continuous Improvement, and Machine Learning
"As I’ve said many times: ‘open' gives you permission to make improvements to course materials but doesn’t tell you what needs changing. 'Learning analytics' give you information about what needs improving in your course but doesn’t give you permission to make the changes. ∴ to do continuous improvement in education, you need OER (permission to change) plus analytics (info about what to change)." —David Wiley, iterating toward openness
