Senior Learning Analyst

1 month ago

Houston, United States CareerBuilder Full time

Purpose

Conduct data-intensive analysis in support of an ambitious research agenda to advance learning analytics for course, instructor, and program improvement.

Essential Functions

The successful candidate will work as a member of the Research, Evaluation, and Learning Analytics (RELA) team in Learning Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin to quantify and evaluate the efficacy of a broad range of educational interventions and programs in an effort to improve student outcomes. Responsibilities fall into two categories: (1) experimental design & data analysis, statistics, including modeling, and (2) data visualization with the pre-requisite computational skills to support both of these activities. The experimental design and modeling involves designing methods by which investigating the variables that impact student learning can be meaningfully identified and represented in useful practical learning models. This includes defining and/or creating appropriate student outcome variables from these data sources at both the student and teacher level. Data analysis includes describing the data and constructing predictive models that use the acquired and extracted features to predict student outcomes. Based on the statistical models and analyses, the outcomes of this work needs to be clearly communicated in sophisticated visual representations along with model testing. Both of these activities require data manipulation skills that start with extracting and processing the data from stored repositories (RDBMS, NoSQL, or others), using data exchange formats such as JSON, XML, RDF, along with common flat log files from different sources including the university Canvas learning management system (LMS), or specific learning tools. The successful candidate will work closely with developers to define new variables to capture from online and in-person learning activities, and support senior Learning Sciences staff as needed in their evaluation of programs, assisting them in development of recommendations based on the emerging data. Finally, to support the data science and learning analytics community, developing and teaching hands-on seminars and workshops designed to help faculty use data to improve instruction are expected.
