In the workshop “Quercus Data Insights: A New Dashboard Tool to Analyze Student Activity” on August 1st, the Learning Analytics Initiative of the University of Toronto launched a pilot of Quercus Data Insights (QDI), a dashboard enabling instructors to analyze aggregated student activity data from Quercus. In the current phase of the QDI pilot, the tool features data from all courses between September 2022 and August 2024.

Join our upcoming workshop to examine how Quercus Data Insights can be used to better organize your courses and motivate your students by exploring past student activity. Using inquiry questions contributed by instructors, workshop participants will engage in a guided interactive activity, using the dashboard to explore real use cases. Instructors will have the opportunity to interact with the dashboard in real-time during the session, gaining immediate insights and feedback.

We invite you to share your inquiry questions using this online form. These questions will be used to guide the workshop activity. If you missed our previous workshop  “Quercus Data Insights: A New Dashboard Tool to Analyze Student Activity”, you can view the recording here.
