Educators have always collected “data” to guide instruction and to garner feedback. Like an iceberg, instructors combine the surface level—attendance, homework, test scores—with what’s below the surface—body language, facial expressions, and eye contact. Together, these data points create a picture of learner engagement and comprehension.

However much of this below-the-surface feedback got lost in the shift to online learning. Many technology providers prioritized surface-level usage analytics—tracking whether students opened materials or clicked on links—over deeper insights, or “learner analytics.” 

Too often, we accept that passive, isolated learning with minimal interaction from peers or instructors is an unavoidable trade-off in online learning; that we have to sacrifice experience for convenience. 

New technology and platforms have made it so we no longer have to accept this trade-off in areas like e-commerce and social media. So why do we accept it in something as important as education? 

It’s time to expect more.
