Collection of Learning Analytics tools to evaluate surveys, student outcomes, and student success.

theHUB-package.RdThe Hub Utility Box (theHUB; a recursive backronym) is a collection of analysis tools composed of functions, scripts, electronic notebooks, and worked examples. Sharing these tools with the MSU community improves the analyses of student outcomes, student success, and survey responses. A standard set of processes and methods along with a defined lexicon enables reproducibility, reduces the time needed to complete analysis-based projects, and allows the quick addition of new methods while encouraging data exploration. Our desire is for theHUB’s functionality to grow over time, and others at MSU will contribute new features and methods for the community. Developed and implemented in R – an open-source application with a robust community (on campus and around the world) – theHUB removes the need for a software license while providing access to a myriad of statistical analysis and graphing options. The documentation allows anyone to use and understand the tools. theHUB will contain the Hub's LA v2.0 projects; currently the survey analysis package, Survey Connections.
Survey Connections: Traditionally, survey analysis returns a collection of response counts and comment summaries without considering important and insightful relationships between questions and responses. The Survey Connections package provides workflows for cleaning survey data and performing Likert and Likert-like, multi-response, and comment analyses. The package’s goal is to easily allow the discovery of relationships between responses and the creation of cohorts for further exploration and analysis. Analyze survey responses to gain a better understanding of the relationships between responses and respondents.
