In response to the accelerating impact of digital technologies on learning, UT Arlington will launch an online Master of Science degree in learning analytics in fall 2021.
George Siemens, professor of psychology, said the new degree will prepare students to meet the growing demand for learning analytics professionals across a variety of industries.
Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data regarding learners, and their contexts to understand and optimize learning and the environments in which it occurs. The discipline combines data science techniques, psychology, education, and technological innovation.
