My name is Jeroen Donkers. I am assistant professor at the department of educational development and research of the faculty of health, medicine and life sciences of Maastricht University in the Netherlands. My interest is the application of computers to improve learning - in a very broad sense. I am trained in Knowledge Engineering (applied mathematics and computer science) and wrote my PhD thesis on artificial intelligence.
I created this blog because I participate in the MOOC (Massive open online course) on learner analytics: LAK 2012. (see lak12.mooc.ca). The course will continue for the next 8 weeks. I will try to add an entry every week.
My reason for participating in the course that I am interested in applying learning analytics in the near future. In particular, we want to know what the relation is between the use of our feedbacksystem ProF and the test-outcomes of our students. Next week I will submit a final version of a project proposal to the Learner Analytic tender of SURF - more on this in a next blog.
Hi Jeroen,
ReplyDeleteNice to see you're participating and blogging!
I'll probably use SURFspace for the MOOC blog.
So far I like the concept of the MOOC.
Best
