Question: How can data from the LMS inform instructional design decisions? Answer: Ask the right questions! These short case studies will outline how a particular course or program modification was made based on student data from the LMS.

- Group discussions in a large introductory course
- Quantitative and qualitative analyses of discussion boards in a large introductory course over three years
- Collaborating across institutional difference - working with data from six schools using three different LMS’s to gain insights into best practices.
