PLATINUM SPONSOR GOLD SPONSOR SILVER SPONSOR Welcome from the Principal It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Lourdes Hill College for the 2019 Learning Analytics Symposium. As teaching professionals, our challenge into the future will be to engage with and harness the abundance of student data that emerging technologies continue to provide. The science of learning analytics will, we believe, deepen our capacity to improve curriculum design and in turn create teaching strategies which will be personalized to individual student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences. Please enjoy your time with us and we wish you well for a successful 2019 and beyond. Robyn Anderson Principal, Lourdes Hill College Welcome from the Symposium Conveners It is with excitement that we welcome you to the inaugural CiTEL Learning Analytics Symposium – CLAS19. We are all part of a significant event that will be breaking new ground in the field of Learning Analytics in education. At the secondary sector level, the application of Learning Analytics to inform student learning is in its relative infancy and there is limited published research and sharing of practice around the use of data and learning analytics in the sector. The aims of this Symposium are to explore and source those people who are using educational data, to provide access to experts in the field drawn from all over Australia, and to offer a platform for sharing good practice. There will be tangible outputs with the gathering together of resources and initiating a Community of Practice around educational analytics. We recognise that some of the most valuable work is being done by ‘everyday’ teachers in their own classrooms. To this end, we hope that you will make the most of the opportunity to learn from others, ask questions and to share how you are using data analytics to improve student learning. Lourdes Hill College is at the forefront of educational innovation and we believe that the 2019 CiTEL Learning Analytics Symposium will be a defining moment in its field and that it will continue to grow. We thank you for your contribution to making this event a success.

Lourdes Hill College was founded in 1916. The rich heritage of the College is drawn from three sources: the compassion of the Good Samaritan found in the Gospels, the patronage of Mary under the title Our Lady of Lourdes and the Benedictine tradition of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan which places strong emphasis on education and the importance of balance in life between work, prayer and recreation. The CiTEL building is an extension of the Benedict Centre. Two enduring qualities of St Benedict were chosen as the names for the main meeting spaces. These are: Caritas, meaning Charity and Veritas, meaning Truth. The choice of the Latin derivations is consistent with what would have been the common language of the day for St Benedict in the Church. 2018 marked the centenary of Duhig Hall.
