Are you spending lots of time conducting and marking formative assessments, tracking the learning progress of your students, and providing early intervention so as to help them learn and achieve better grades? If so, using a Learning Management System (LMS) together with a data analytics tool may help to increase your productivity. In this session, we will cover how Blackboard tools can help you conduct assessments in a paperless manner and automate the marking. You will also learn how data analytics can help you turn raw assessment data into meaningful information which will help you identify the 'at-risk' students that need your extra help, the better ones that need more challenging tasks, and the chapters that may need to be delivered with a different pedagogical approach. Hence, with a robust LMS and a data analytics tool, your quality of teaching and students' learning will help to bring about a higher student success rate.
