Learning Analytics: Survey data for measuring the impact of study satisfaction on students’ academic self-efficacy and performance

This paper presents learning analytics data for measuring the impact of study satisfaction on students’ academic self-efficacy and performance. For this purpose, a specially designed questionnaire was developed and distributed across 124 undergraduate students. Preliminary analysis using descriptive statistics for items and confirmatory factor analysis is provided. The analysis provides evidence for the relation between students’ satisfaction, self-efficacy, and academic performance, and evaluates the role of academic information resources in fulfilling students’ information needs. These data are of importance for researchers and practitioners involved with budgetary decisions in academic collections as well as the influence of research specific (rather than training specific) information resources in student satisfaction

#withrefugees: Workshop on field and design methods for supporting refugees through library services and other social and policy innovations

Over 65 million people worldwide, half of them children, are displaced by war and persecution, marking the worst humanitarian crisis since World War II. Whether living in camps, in border or destination countries, or while transiting, refugees and stakeholders have substantial, wide-ranging needs that can be supported by the iSchool community. The United Nations Refugee Agency in 2016 issued a call to stand #WithRefugees. With its focus on people, information and technology, the iSchool researchers have much to offer through designing information services, systems and policy. In this workshop, participants will build on their experiences working with refugees across settings, learn basic methods for carrying out fieldwork and other methods that are sensitive to gender, culture, time, place, and stakeholders. Participants will also learn how using co-design techniques – storyboards, maps, narrative drawings, and personas – can inform the creation of library services, innovations and policy
