“Teach the teachers” Multiplier Event at BMU

On December 12th 2025, at the Niš campus of Belgrade Metropolitan University, educators gathered for a focused “Teach the Teacher” training as part of the ISILA project. The session introduced learning analytics through a practical and pedagogically grounded lens, highlighting how data can support more responsive and personalized teaching.

The training began by framing learning analytics within the broader shift toward data-informed education. Nemanja Zdravković outlined key concepts and emphasized that analytics is not just about technology, but about improving teaching decisions through evidence.

A central takeaway was the value of early insight. Using multimodal dashboards—bringing together data from multiple sources—teachers can identify patterns in student engagement and respond before challenges escalate. Even simple indicators, when used at the right moment, can make a meaningful difference.

Practical examples shared by Jovana Jović demonstrated how analytics tools can be adapted across subjects and teaching contexts. The focus remained on usability: how educators can integrate data into everyday practice without needing complex systems.

The session also highlighted the importance of turning insight into action. Anđela Grujić presented approaches to data-driven interventions, showing how structured monitoring can support timely feedback, instructional adjustments, and targeted student support.

Throughout the training, participants reflected on feasibility, ethics, and institutional readiness. Discussions reinforced that successful implementation depends not only on tools, but on aligning them with real classroom conditions and maintaining transparency with students.

The key message was clear: learning analytics is most effective when it is practical, context-aware, and focused on supporting everyday teaching decisions.
