EDUCAUSE 2007 Day One – Data Mining as an Emerging Means of Assessing Student Learning

Very interesting session. Harvard is working in a Virtual World called “River City” that can collect information on every student interaction within this world. This data is then mined to help try to determine student progress/success within the course. They are working to make this feedback immediate so that instructors can assist students early if they are having problems.
