(LASI Spain 25)
Vitoria-Gasteiz, May 26-27 2025

 Learning Analytics & Generative Artificial Intelligence

Learning Analytics Summer Institute Spain 2025 (LASI Spain 2025) (https://lasi25.snola.es), will take place in Vitoria-Gasteiz, organized by SNOLA (the Spanish Network of Learning Analytics) and will have University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU as a host. LASI Spain is part of the global LASI network (https://www.solaresearch.org/events/lasi/), conceived as a platform to catalyze educators, technologists, researchers, enterprise and policymakers around shaping the next generation of learning infrastructures to truly serve the needs now facing the education sector.

Learning Analytics has been called to improve learning practice by transforming the ways we develop and carry out learning and teaching activities and processes. Learning Analytics draws on a variety of methods and techniques, including those of artificial intelligence. The irruption of Generative Artificial Intelligence opens new opportunities and challenges in the field of Learning Analytics. Papers reflecting on the impact of GenAI to the application of LA will be welcome.

The Call for Papers of LASI Spain 2025 invites researchers across the globe to submit original research and work in progress that further contributes to advances in the field.

LASI Spain 2025 welcomes both quantitative and qualitative work related to the topics of interest within the broad theme of adoption of learning analytics, and aims to cross interdisciplinary boundaries that help expand our understanding of current and future trends in learning analytics.

The LASI Spain 2025 Doctoral Consortium is an important space for PhD students to present and discuss their research in the field of Learning Analytics. Selected PhD students will have the opportunity to present their work in a collaborative and constructive environment and receive valuable feedback from experts in the field. In addition, the Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for doctoral students to interact with their peers and make connections with other researchers with similar interests. This forum will provide an enriching experience for doctoral students in the field of learning analytics and help them advance their academic careers. We invite PhD students to submit their work for consideration in the LASI Spain 2025 Doctoral Consortium.
