REPORT: Expanding Evidence Approaches for Learning in a Digital World

The report discusses the promise of sophisticated digital learning systems for collecting and analyzing very large amounts of fine-grained data (“big data”) as users interact with the systems. It proposes that this data can be used by developers and researchers to improve these learning systems and strive to discover more

Learning analytics for better learning content | Ed Tech Now

We thought you needed: large quantities of data (volume); varied sources of data (variety); semantically meaningful data (which is a similar to validity), the latter being about accuracy and the former being about having a meaningful standard in the first place, against which that accuracy can be measured. This is a complex topic
