>
> Interactions in digital environments produce data. Learning analytics is
> the field of study that uses this data to understand what individuals have
> learned, how teams perform most effectively, and the networks that support
> social and organizational knowledge development. The University of Texas at
> Arlington's Master of Science in Learning Analytics (MSLA) is the world's
> first fully online program intended for individuals who want to pursue a
> career in fields that are impacted by the digitization of learning,
> sensemaking, and knowledge processes in complex information environments.
>
> The 36-credit hour program offers two pathways, with one requiring a
> traditional research thesis and the other requiring a capstone project.
> Additionally, students following both paths will complete six core courses
> and electives that suit their needs and contexts.
> Why Learning Analytics?
>
> Learning analytics is a rapidly growing area of research and practice that
> uses data science to make sense of the world and to improve teaching,
> learning, and knowledge processes in a variety of contexts, such as
> informal settings, schools, universities, corporations, and non-profit
> organizations. It sits at the nexus of learning science, education,
> computer science, and psychology and uses a range of analytics approaches.
