Hi David!
I am an avid reader of your blog. I read an article you did which mentioned Learning Analytics and I thought that you can make use of this infographic that we just developed. You can check it out here: http://newsroom.opencolleges.edu.au/learning-analytics-infographic/.
Please let me know what you think. And if you can feature it on your blog, I’d be really ecstatic! 😀
Thanks.

I am happy to let people find your infographic about learning analytics here. Great job! While I have shared infographics in the past, I am trying to stick to my own content these day. 🙂
Have a good day,
David
