September 16, 2016 –  Lyon, France
co-located with the
11th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL 2016)

 

The WAPLA workshop aims at analyzing with an applied and practical perspective different issues and challenges related to learning analytics. The correct practical application of learning analytics can bring a lot of advantages. Many issues should be considered for a successful application of learning analytics in courses and in the organizations as a whole.

The first edition of the WAPLA workshop took place in Toledo, Spain at EC-TEL 2015. The web page of WAPLA 2015 is available at http://educate.gast.it.uc3m.es/wapla2015 where several videos of the workshop are available. Due to the success of this event, we would like to propose a second workshop on this topic at this year’s EC-TEL conference.

  • Experiences of application of learning analytics
  • Combination of existing software tools of learning analytics
  • Deployment of learning analytics in an institution
  • Evaluation results based on learning analytics
  • Application of adaptive learning based on learning analytics
