Educational Informatics
Educational informatics is:• Intersection of three disciplines:
• teaching and learning, information science, and information communication technologies (ICTs) (Ford, 2004; Haythornthwaite, 2006; Sheffield University, 2011)
• “The study of the application of digital technologies and techniques to the use and communication of information in learning and education” (Levy, Ford, Foster, Madden, Miller, Baptista Nunes, McPherson, & Webber, 2003, p. 299)
• Educational informatics parallels the use of informatics in other fields• medical informatics, bioinformatics, and health informatics

Educational Informatics meets information science and systems design• Educational informatics and information science
• The word “informatics” means the science of information• The word “analytics” means the logical organization and analysis
of information• Educational informatics within a systems framework:
• The science of using and analyzing educational information in a logical fashion.
• Chow (2008) defined it by uniting computing, information science, and systems design in an education setting as:
• “how information technology is used to collect, organize, use, and disseminate information to support and help improve overall performance of the educational system” (Chow, 2008, p. 51)

The Big Questions?• How is our school doing?• What does success look like?• How do we measure it?• How do we know if our systemic change effort is working?
•What data do we need to have by when to answer these questions?

Educational Informatics and Organizational Performance
• How are ICTs being used to collect data and how are organizations able to translate and use this data?
• Information they can use to continuously improve current and future decisions and performance in a real-time, dash board fashion?

Impact Evaluation Process (IEP)
• Guerra-Lopez’s Impact Evaluation Process (2007; 2012) provides the tactical steps in which to identify and build a customized organizational SEI model.

The SEI model
The SEI model is characterized by four primary characteristics: 1. System indicators2. Real-time data3. Automation, and 4. Performance improvement focus (primarily gap identification
and causal analysis).

CEC Overview• Harless’ “Grand Conspiracy” – basing a school on systems
thinking which starts with user needs and end accomplishments
• Central Educational Center – a join venture of societal stakeholders
• Charter School • Designed using ADDIE• Embraces innovation and the concept of educational
informatics and real-time data

Systemic Educational Informatics (SEI) Model
The Mega level represents the societal level and requires that an organization measures its intended value-added impact on society itself (Of what value are we to society?) to ensure proper alignment.

Systemic Educational Informatics (SEI) Model
The Macro level involves the medium term goals of the organization and stakeholders, the more immediate or direct impact that benefits the organization itself (What does success mean and look like for our organization?).

Systemic Educational Informatics (SEI) Model
The Micro level involves internal building-block results of the organization (What short-term products have to be accomplished by teams and individual organizational members?) (Kaufman, 2006; 2011).

CEC – SEI Model• Educational Informatics
• Information about CEC, a systemic change effort• Scientific application of continuous evaluation called for in ADDIE
process• Data leads to information, which leads to knowledge; collectively
HPT• SEI models can accompany all systemic change efforts
• Real-time formative and summative evaluation
