Learning Analytics at Population Scale

In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, analytics has emerged as a pivotal tool for learning platforms at scale, ushering in a transformative era of data-driven insights. As the demand for online learning experiences continues to grow, the importance of analytics in educational platforms becomes increasingly evident. Analytics not only provides a comprehensive view of learner engagement and performance but also empowers educators and administrators with the ability to make informed decisions. Through the systematic analysis of vast datasets, learning platforms can personalize content, identify patterns of student behavior, and optimize the overall learning experience.

This case study explores how OBSRV enabled a population scale learning platform like DIKSHA to provide a means for students to access educational content remotely and offered teachers a digital repository of learning resources and teaching material to facilitate remote instruction, ensuring continuity in learning during the recent pandemic.
