This presentation is geared towards those teaching or facilitating online courses within a learning management system (LMS). Course analytics and exemplars will be shared to empower instructors to embrace data and use it to improve their own courses.

1. Reconsider "best practices" for specific course/ subject matter area, based on course-level data; 2. Increase awareness of the laws, policies, and guidelines for distance education at the federal, regional, state, and local levels; 3. Understand the role of E-Faculty Coaches, Instructional Designers, Data Analysts, and other support teams in utilizing data to promote student success.

This session will include a variety of presentation modes- power point, video excerpts, sharing of resources within the TCC LMS (Canvas), roundtable discussion, etc. The goal is to showcase the ways data can- and should- lead online course development and delivery in a non-threatening way. While institution and campus metrics are shared, the impact of course-level data is the foundation for student success and retention. This presentation will highlight that alignment and relationship.
