Hey Dave. In the hopes that it will add to your motivation to keep posting your weekly LAK11 reviews, let me share how your posts are my best way into the course right now. I’m a learning analytics newbie with a more than full-time job who is also engaged in required doctoral coursework so I don’t have much free time. Your posts give me a great overview for the week. Even at my busiest, I can at least make time to read your post, check out the links you’ve highlighted, and watch your “homework” video. I’m planning to attend the LAK conference next month. If you’re there, I owe you a beer or two. Thanks! Ani

Hi Dave. I want to elaborate on how I used your blog this week. I read/scanned the suggested readings and viewed the videos and tried the software. Then I came here and re-read an article I hadn’t spent much time on initially and realized what I’d missed. The same with your video. I did try SNAPP but hadn’t exploreed the filtering possibilities. I’m in student mode right now and the discussions in Moodle are more applied than I can contribute to at this point but this blog is keeping me involved and inspiring confidence.
