DataStage

DataStage is provided by the Vice Provost Office for Online Learning (VPOL) at Stanford, which facilitates the teaching of online classes. The instruction delivery platforms are instrumented to collect a variety of data around participants' interaction with the study material. Examples are participants manipulating video players as they view portions of a class, solution submissions to problem sets, uses of the online forum available for some classes, peer grading activities, and some demographic data. VPOL makes some of this data available for research on learning processes, and for explorations into improving instruction through Datastage.

MITx

MITx course data, in a variety of forms, is made available for research purposes by the Institutional Research section of the Office of the Provost at MIT. The release of data from MITx courses is subject to compliance with student privacy regulations.

Head Start Data Analytics Playbook

The Head Start Data Analytics Playbook is a collection of data visualizations used by your very own colleagues in Head Start. Have you ever said to yourself, “I wonder how others looked at their data about…”? Now, you don’t have to just wonder. Go to the Playbook and you’ll see examples of how others answered the same questions you have. Each example includes a picture of the data used, details of what you’re looking at, and a story of how the program used the information. The examples also include the technical details you need to be able to replicate the example using your own data.

University of Pittsburgh English Language Institute Corpus (PELIC)

The University of Pittsburgh English Language Institute Corpus dataset is large learner corpus of written and spoken texts. These texts were collected in an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) context over seven years in the University of Pittsburgh’s Intensive English Program, and were produced by students with a wide range of linguistic backgrounds and proficiency levels. PELIC is longitudinal, offering greater opportunities for tracking development in a natural classroom setting. An overview of PELIC is available here.

Processing & Analytics

MOOCdb

The project founded at MIT includes a platform agnostic functional data model for data exhaust from MOOCs, a collaborative-open source-open access data visualization framework, a crowd sourced knowledge discovery framework and a privacy preserving software framework. The team is currently working to release a number of these tools and frameworks as open source.

DiscourseDB

DiscourseDB is a data infrastructure project, in the space of collaborative and Discussion-based learning, that aims to provide a common data model to accommodate diverse sources including but not limited to Chat, Threaded Discussions, Blogs, Twitter, Wikis and Text messaging. In the future, the project will make available analytics which will facilitate research questions related to the mediating and moderating effects of role taking, help exchange, collaborative knowledge construction and others.

DiscourseDB@CMU

There are additional DiscourseDB instances at three other sites: University of Toronto, SUNY Albany and Beijing Normal University (BNU). Contact us for information on accessing these instances.

MOOCdb Learner Project

Each time a learner interacts with an e-learning system it is possible to capture a record of their engagement. Data comprising mouse clicks, video controls, problem responses, programming, collaborations and discussions then becomes available to learning science. MLP’s goal is to tap into the immense potential of this data to provide insights into how students learn and how instructors can effectively teach. The challenge is to provide technology and develop new approaches that transforms this fundamentally different set of observations into actionable knowledge.
