RealizeIt- Call for Proposals: Data Analytics and Adaptive Learning
Submissions are now accepted for a new book, Data Analytics and Adaptive Learning: Research Perspectives, to be published by Routledge/Taylor & Francis.
The past decade has seen advances in instructional technology in adaptive and personalized instruction, virtual learning environments, and blended learning, all of which have been augmented by analytics. The underlying rationale for this book is that the time has come to visit current evidence on how data analytics in support of adaptive learning have advanced in our schools, colleges and universities.
More details about this project and instructions for submitting your proposal (the deadline is November 19, 2021) can be found here. Please feel free to share this document with anyone who may be interested in taking part!

This week’s “Spotlight on Digital Learning Leaders”
“Spotlight on Digital Learning Leaders” across the UNC System! This week we focus on the work of Kim Stevenson, Ed.D., Director, Distance Education, Elizabeth City State University. You can view the three-minute video here.
One of the things that makes our University so special is that we have so many great people. This definitely applies to the area of digital learning. But, given how spread out we are across the state, for example, it’s over 460 miles between Western Carolina University and Elizabeth City State University, this sometimes makes it difficult for us to share and to collaborate.
While we do many things to virtually close this distance – and share amongst each other – like our weekly newsletter, workshops and monthly webinars, we decided to add another resource…one that spotlights the work of some very special people.
So, we are asking our colleagues across the system three questions:
- What is your role?
- How did you come to this role?
- Give us an example where you effectively used technology to solve a teaching problem of practice?
These videos are intended to be short – only about three minutes – so we hope you will regularly take time to listen into these conversations.
Finally, if you are listening to this, YOU probably have some interesting examples to share yourself. Please reach out to me if there is a chance you might be willing to share in a future episode of “Spotlight on Digital Learning Leaders.”
Thank you, Jim
