The ways in which learners engage in dialogue indicate how they engage with the ideas of others, how they relate those ideas to their understanding and how they explain their own point of view.
• Disputational dialogue
• Cumulative dialogue
• Exploratory dialogue

Learning relationships
Learners who have quality learning relationships
find it useful and exciting to share thoughts and
ideas with others. They make good use of people
as sources of support and guidance, both at
home and in the community. They draw on their
community’s world views and traditions.

How would you use analytics to support the development of learning relationships in this environment?
•What data would you collect?
•How would you analyse it?
•How would you present it to learners?
•What problems would you need to overcome?
