Connecting Libraries and Learning Analytics for Student Success

Abstract

The CLLASS project brought together a diverse group of library and higher education leaders and experts to:
• develop models for library inclusion in institutional learning analytics,
• explore strategies for bringing the models to fruition,
• design technologies to support library-enabled learning analytics, and
• anticipate ways in which this work will increase library impact on student learning and success.

To support dialogue both among librarians and between librarians and their educational partners, this document includes a series of discussion questions throughout the text and closes with suggested reading lists, including relevant privacy resources. It is hoped that this report will stimulate discussions about the role of libraries in institutional learning analytics, enable the technical capabilities necessary for libraries to contribute to institutional understanding of student learning, and ultimately enable libraries to employ a new approach to supporting student learning and success.
