According to Wikipedia, Analytics is "the application of computer technology, operational research, and statistics to solve problems in business and industry". [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytics]
The Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR) (http://www.solaresearch.org/) is currently (starting the week of January 23, 2012) promoting an online "Learning Analytics" course. The course registration and course introductory information can be accessed at http://lak12.wikispaces.com/
I received an e-mail invitation to participate in the course myself, so I am in now way tied to the organization, nor the course, and cannot take any responsibility for any inaccurate information I am reporting here. As it appears that this course is open to any interested persons, I have decided to initiate in helping make the course known, especially to all the Learners out there. Read all of the website instructions, and just use your own judgement on whether this is something that you want to pursue, irrespective of this announcement.
Please respond back if you decided to try to go through the registration, and report any successes or failures, for my personal knowledge, as well as anyone else who might be interested in this as well.
Best wishes and success for anyone who attempts this course.
Andy Raffalski
