Learning analytics has become increasingly present in educational settings. Whenever information technologies are used for educational purposes, there is a trail of evidence of the activities and behaviors of both learners and instructors. Over time, the analysis of this evidence, be it real-time data or data stored in database systems, may help better understand and improve educational processes. Learning analytics covers a wide variety of analysis techniques over multiple-sourced data (content repositories, interactive systems, multimedia streams) and technologies (learning management systems, educational games, virtual settings, mobile devices), ranging from data mining to data visualizations, and focusing on different aspects of […]

Pre-doc position available at the University of Deusto

Supported and co-funded by the European Commission through the Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie COFUND Programme, the University of Deusto (Bilbao, Spain) provides a three-years positions that aims at attracting qualified international Early Stage Researchers for high quality PhD training. The thesis proposal “Learning Analytics for Computational Thinking assessment”  aims to apply Learning Analytics techniques for Computational Thinking assessment, a topic which is challenging and plausible at the same time. Challenging because most computer-related problems have more than a single solution and novice programmers tend to address problems in imaginative -and often overcomplicated- ways. Plausible because the solutions that need to […]
