  2. It’s All About Analytics • Data is important for driving decision-making • For academic programs, data is needed for accreditation • D2L has tools that help automate the process, but you have to set things up properly • MnSCU was preparing to pilot D2L Insights (analytics), and this may become a future option

  3. What are Competencies? • Grading at a Broader, Yet More Granular Level • D2L Competencies Tool • Enables assessment of outcomes • Tracks information about the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired at course, department, or institutional level • Provides visible structural organization for • Students • Faculty • Administration • Outside Accrediting bodies

  4. Considerations for Faculty • Will students need to meet all learning objectives to be competent? • What happens if student doesn’t meet competency? • Will you have other activities that will not be attached to a graded item?

  5. Structural Organization • Prior to Competency Set-up • Create hierarchy of structural set up • Institutional Outcomes • Program Outcomes • Learning Objectives • Course Outcomes • Activities

  6. D2L Admin Level Set-up • Enable Competencies & Template permissions • Create Course Templates • Create top level Competencies • Add Organizational Units (templates) to each top level competency • Add Competencies and Outcomes to templates • Edit Competency Structure with Parents and Children • Create future courses using Templates • Faculty will then attach activities to Competencies and Outcomes within courses

  7. Normandale Community College Model Getting Started • Competencies and Rubrics Tool D2L • Curriculum Mapping Project • Pilot Project

  8. Using the D2L Competencies Tool to Provide Student and Course Data

  21. View Results

  22. Competency Structure • Facilitates alignment • Course, Program, Institutional • Allows students to see course at a glance • Provides curriculum mapping • Defines measurable outcomes

  23. What is Missing? • Data Analysis • D2L competency data can be viewed but not exported • We are data rich and analytics poor • Data-driven decision making is hampered • Data falls off the system every semester • Better accreditation reporting
