Abstract

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. The purpose of this article is to propose a framework to think about the use of learning analytics in medical education. This MedEdPublish article is presented in three sections - 1) a single topic summary illustration; 2) a short "elevator pitch"; and 3) a more "traditional" article format piece (in four main parts). It is hoped that this presentation format will give readers the option to review this topic either visually', to review the "essence" of the topic in the form of a brief "corridor chat" or "elevator pitch", or a more expansive quasi-traditional article (with four main complementary section-parts which deliberately have overlapping content; with the intention to stimulate thinking on this topic, and provoke-form the starting point for further discussion, on the MedEdPublish platform).
