The LAURA project looked at supporting the improvement of the student experience by ensuring that students, teachers, and support staff are making the best use of the data, information and dashboards that are currently available in Learn, and other centrally supported learning technology applications, to gain useful insights. The LAURA project supported the student experience by focusing on improvements that ensured students, teachers and student support staff are able to making best use of the data, information and dashboards that are currently available in Learn, and other centrally supported learning technology applications, to gain useful insights. It tackled perceived gaps in reporting, activity data and tools and ensure that more people know where to look and how to use the information. The project identified data, information and dashboards that are currently available in Learn, and other centrally supported learning technology applications, that could be useful for both staff and students to enhance the student learning experience. The project was delivered as part of the VLE Excellence programme to improve staff and student digital experience and enhance engagement by enabling staff and students to access relevant data to support and advance their teaching and learning. Where skills and knowledge gaps were identified, the project developed digital skills training resources to help students and staff make best use of existing information in an informed and ethical manner.
