This nomination recognizes the scholarly and societal impact of the ground-breaking SSHRC-funded, "Learning Analytics for the Social Media Age" led by Anatoliy Gruzd. This initiative created a critical new body of knowledge that intersected multiple fields, including learning analytics, social media and information science. The new methods and analytical tools that were developed as a part of the work have since facilitated advanced research by scholars around the world, most notably in the areas of education, health and politics. The initiative also enhanced professional practice through training of 21 undergraduate, 39 graduate students, and 7 postdoctoral fellows.
