Student access to Learning Analytics data

20. Students will be able to view their Learning Analytics data via the Learning Analytics Study Goal web app, available at https://www.shu.ac.uk/myhallam/study/study-goal. 

21. Students can request sight of the staff view of their Learning Analytics data via their Academic Adviser.

22. If students would like to request copies of their own personal data held by the University, they are entitled to submit a SAR (a subject access request). Interventions

23. A range of interventions may take place with students, initiated by Academic Advisers, the Student Success and Engagement team, or the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) Compliance team. The types of intervention and what they are intended to achieve are documented in the Student Guide to Learning Analytics. These may include:

• 23.1 Staff contacting an individual based on the analytics if it is considered that the student may benefit from additional support.
• 23.2 Prompts or suggestions sent to the student via email.

24. Interventions will normally be recorded and subject to periodic reviews as to their appropriateness and effectiveness.

25. Metrics derived from data sources input into the learning analytics system will not be used for assessment purposes. However, some of the original data sources owned by the University may be used separately for monitoring of attendance, outside of the learning analytics system. Minimising adverse impacts

26. The University recognises that Learning Analytics cannot present a complete picture of a student’s learning.

27. Students will retain autonomy in decision-making relating to their learning; the Learning Analytics are provided to help inform their own decisions about how and what to learn.
