Abstract

This paper is inspired by the concept of Analogizing. It explores the analogies between a concept from the Construction industry (Automated Project Performance Control – APPC) and a concept in Education (Organizational Learning Analytics – OLA). The APPC model deals with automating data collection and conversion from on-site construction projects in real-time to improve control and performance, while the OLA model expands the current application of learning analytics to managerial and strategic level decisions taken in higher education institutions (HEIs). By drawing connections between these two conceptual models, the paper demonstrates the innovative potential of Analogizing to identify novel solutions in one discipline using well established methods from an analogous, yet highly distinct, second discipline.
