Looking around (how did I not know it was a Moodle?) I see a lot of personalisation which shows me different areas which are of interest to me, both inside this course and for general OU offerings. I like recommendations and the idea of branching out into further areas. Learning for me is a Tree - formal learning of this kind is the branches - moving out from this into other areas the leaves and the programme itself is the trunk. The interesting part is the roots - this is all the learning I do outside of this environment, much of which is informal, or for pleasure and all of which shapes me into my learning tree - inspires me to seek formal knowledge or certification about the interests.
Part 2
Sadly I work in secondary education (or do I? I only train students on assistive tech now and I'm not sure if I want to go back to secondary education. Data I see is tracking, targets and predictions, all designed to help the institution and hold the teachers accountable for results. I don't see data as personalised. All I see is data that was created about an entity (they are not treated as students OR children) which predicts what they can achieve in an ideal world. And if the world is not ideal? Well the institutions still expect them to achieve it to get extra brownie points for the institution. What I want is data that says - how can we HELP "billy", the boy who lives in care after being removed from his parents crack house to achieve HIS best, not the best his target says but the best outcome for him - a bit of education which leads him into college where he can learn a skill and improve HIS life, maybe he won't get 12 GCSE's but maybe he can train as a bricklayer and get a job which means he can support himself when the system chucks him out at 18.
Oh dear, part 2 was a rant.
Part 3
Well I think I partially covered it in part 2 but to me collecting data in a classroom should include, which activities did you enjoy?, what information made you want to find out more? Questions that personalise learning for the individual and invite them to challenge their perception and experience of learning.
