Online learning: a graphical story

The following graphs and images tell the visual story of a very busy year of learning and teaching online!

Learning Management System  (LMS) usage

LMS usage increased significantly earlier this year as expected with the move to fully online learning and teaching in March. The graph below shows the peaks and troughs of usage from March until August this year. Whilst the session duration and pages per session remain fairly constant throughout the year, the sessions per user peak around May in the lead up to end of Semester 1 final assessments and exams, and drop briefly in the mid-semester break.

Professional development workshops and webinars

Workshops and webinars have been in high demand throughout the year, with topics such as Speedgrader, Gradebook, Assignments and Collaboration topping the list of most attended workshops. Learning Environments runs workshops throughout the full academic year which are now all online, and accessible as a recording if you would like to watch in your own time.
