Study Goal: the app that allows you to take control of your own learning

TLDRoffon

It provides visualisations of your learning activities, such as how you use the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and shows you the same data your personal tutor sees.

Study Goal offers a series of visualisations about your learning activities. Every time you interact with the university, for example borrowing a book from the library or logging onto our virtual learning environment to access module content, you leave a digital footprint.

To view your Learning Analytics data, you'll need to download the Study Goal app which is available in either the Android Play Store or Apple App Store

In the app you'll see the same data your Personal Tutor sees in their dashboard, Data Explorer.  The data can help your Personal Tutor make informed decisions to help you with your studies, and inform conversations they have with you. You have a legal right to see data held about you and ensure it is correct, and that's where the Study Goal app comes in.

Study Goal also lets you take control of your own learning.  You can set your own goals and targets, and these aren't recorded or monitored by anyone else - you can choose to use it as much or as little as you like.

You can find out more in the Study Goal User Guideor speak to your Personal Tutor.
