Paul Prinsloo will be presenting a keynote talk at LASI 2022 (Salamanca, Spain, June 20-21). ‘Beyond’ ethics: mapping the trajectory (and futures) of ethics in learning analytics Abstract: While the first Learning Analytics Conference in 2011 introduced learning analytics as a distinct research focus and practice, the collection, analysis, and use of student data has been part of education and specifically higher education for a very long-time preceding LAK’11. Likewise, concerns regarding ethical issues data have always been an integral part of discourses surrounding and research into the collection, analysis, and use of student data. As higher education become increasingly […]

El próximo webinar de SNOLA (Spanish Network Of Learning Analytics) tendrá lugar el día 24 de marzo a las 16:00h. Resumen: Uno de los temas que mayor interés suscitan en Learning Analytics, y que aun implica desafíos presentes y futuros, es la predicción del rendimiento académico. Uno de esos retos pasa por predecir los resultados de aprendizaje a través de técnicas de fusión de datos multimodales, también conocidas como Multimodal Learning Analytics. Durante este webinar nos acercaremos a varios estudios en los que se fusionan datos, a priori tan alejados, como asistencia la clase, la toma de apuntes, los logs […]

LEARNING ANALYTICS SUMMER INSTITUTE SPAIN 2022 (LASI Spain 2022) Salamanca, June 20-21, 2022 Learning Analytics: Here to stay The COVID-19 pandemic had a massive impact on face-to-face teaching methodologies. Several methodologies arose to overcome the health emergency through digital means, which also involved adapting both instructors and students to online learning approaches. Although this crisis has served as an opportunity to embrace new methods and tools, some may see these changes as a temporary stopgap as the situation normalizes to return to previous teaching methodologies subsequently. However, the sudden shift from face-to-face to online education has paved the way for […]

El próximo webinar de SNOLA (Spanish Network Of Learning Analytics) tendrá lugar el día 17 de febrero a las 16:00h. Resumen: La analítica de aprendizaje de juegos consiste en el análisis de los datos de interacción del usuario con el juego para obtener evidencias que permitan mejorar el proceso educativo con juegos serios. Consideramos que la aplicación de la analítica de aprendizaje de juegos puede proporcionar un enfoque más científico y basado en datos para mejorar el ciclo de vida de los juegos serios. Esto significa no sólo obtener una mejor comprensión de cómo aprenden los jugadores y lo que […]

Watch here the LASI 2021 keynotes by Barbara Wasson and Xavier Ochoa.    

You can consult here the full call for papers for the Learning Analytics track at TEEM 2021 conference. Deadline: 4th July. Last editions of the learning analytics track, one of the conclusions of the track was that variety (of topics, techniques, data sources, contexts, users) was necessary for the field to expand and advance, at the peril of a fragmentation that now seems inevitable. The fragmented landscape of learning analytics has its own perks, though. Nearly eight years after the first Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference, we have now a clearer view of all the different aspects, technologies, algorithms and scope of application […]

El próximo webinar de SNOLA (Spanish Network Of Learning Analytics) tendrá lugar el día 17 de junio a las 16:00h. Resumen: La posibilidad de poder predecir/clasificar el rendimiento de los estudiantes es muy importante en los sistemas de e-learning, y un área muy prometedora para conseguir este objetivo es la utilización de técnicas de Minería de Datos (MD). De hecho, una de las técnicas más de la MD en Educación es la clasificación y diferentes algoritmos se han utilizado con éxito desde hace años. En este WebMinar vamos a hacer primero una revisión histórica de uno de mis artículos pioneros […]

Learning Analytics Summer Institute Spain 2021 (LASI Spain 21) Hybrid – Barcelona, July 7-9 2021 Learning Analytics in times of COVID-19: Opportunity from crisis One year after the declaration of COVID-19 as a world pandemic by the WHO, the virus outbreak has changed the landscape of education. Instructors from educational institutions across different levels (K-12, Higher Education) had to shift to emergency remote teaching overnight. In most cases, this change has entailed (forceful) adoption of blended learning and online learning approaches. However, the benefits and adequacy of these approaches to the “new normal” also comes at a cost: as learning […]

The next SNOLA (Spanish Network Of Learning Analytics) webinar will take place on April 22nd at 16:00h. Enter this link to see more information. Overview: There have been remarkable efforts in studying collaborative, social and learning networks using Social Network Analysis. Such efforts have demonstrated the wealth of insights that network analysis could bring. However, the majority of network analysis research has used static networks, i.e., aggregated networks that compile interactions without taking time into account. Therefore, temporal networks have emerged as a subfield of network science that is concerned with the study of time-ordered interactions. As a paradigm, temporal […]

El próximo webinar de SNOLA (Spanish Network Of Learning Analytics) tendrá lugar el día 11 de marzo a las 16:00h, a través del siguiente enlace: https://www.eventbrite.es/e/entradas-webinar-snola-comunicando-el-rgpd-con-sentido-144176055463 Resumen: Desde el 25 de mayo de 2018 es aplicable de forma directa, y obligatorio en todos sus elementos, el Reglamento (UE) 2016/679 General de Protección de Datos (RGPD). El marco normativo que establece el RGPD afecta especialmente al mundo del software, presentando multitud de implicaciones que en general desconocen tanto los desarrolladores como los usuarios finales. Poniendo el foco en el tratamiento de los datos, trataremos el ámbito de aplicación del RGPD sobre los […]
