Many higher education institutions are considering whether to move from traditional textbooks to e-textbooks. The EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative Leadership Seminar, hosted at the 2013 ELI Annual Meeting, brought together a group of individuals from a variety of higher education institutions interested in e-texts/e-content and in leadership focused on that area. This ELI Brief describes the main areas of discussion at the seminar. The range of topics included initiating e-text pilot projects, broadening interest in open access resources, and strategies for rejuvenating interest in e-texts among potential adopters (faculty and students alike), particularly those who have not yet fully explored the range of affordances that differentiate e-texts from traditional textbooks.

Learning analytics enables a new level of data-driven decision making for the purpose of supporting students. Learning analytics is a collective institutional effort in every way: identifying, collecting, and organizing data; developing analytic models; collaborating with people with diverse skill sets; and determining actionable steps to use the information gathered. This brief highlights some of the primary issues and processes for leading an organization in the deployment and use of learning analytics, and it raises broad, conceptual questions about how best to use learning analytics to develop and strengthen learning skills among undergraduates.
