Let’s get there! Towards policy for adoption of learning analyticsDragan Gasevic
The field learning analytics is established with the promise for the education sector to embrace the use of data for decision making. There are many examples of successful use of learning analytics to enhance student experience, increase learning outcomes, and optimize learning environments. Despite much interest in learning analytics, many higher education institutions are still looking for effective ways that can enable systemic uptake. The talk will first describe some selected examples of the successful use of learning analytics in higher education. Key challenges identified to affect implementation of learning analytics will then be discussed. This will be followed with an overview of an approach to the development of institutional policy and strategy for the learning analytics implementation in higher education. The talk will be based on the findings of several international studies and will critically interrogate the role of institutional and cultural differences.

Nurturing the Connections: The Role of Quantitative Ethnography in Learning A...Dragan Gasevic
This talk will explore connections between two emerging fields focused on harnessing the potential of data – learning analytics and quantitative ethnography. Learning analytics is focused on the analysis of data collected from user interactions with technology with the goal of advancing our understanding of and enhancing human learning. Despite some early success stories and widespread interest, producing meaningful and actionable results is still a top open research challenge for learning analytics. The talk will first explore how quantitative ethnography can offer promising approaches that can address this open challenge in learning analytics. The talk will next discuss how progress in learning analytics can be used to accelerate the development of the field of quantitative ethnography. The talk will finally outline promising directions for future research at the intersection of learning analytics and quantitative ethnography.

. The emergence of learning analytics afforded for the analysis of digital traces of user interaction with technology. This analysis offers many opportunities to advance understanding and enhance learning and the environments in which learning occurs. Existing research has shown how learning analytics can provide contributions to different areas of education such as prediction of student success, uncovering learning strategies, understanding affective states, and unpacking the role social networks in learning. While these results have shown much promise, one critical challenge remains unclear – how learning analytics can help track learning progression and inform assessment especially from the perspective of the 21st century skills. This talk will explore opportunities and challenges for the integration of methods commonly used in learning analytics to analyze different digital traces with methods commonly used in assessment and psychometric research. The paper particularly focuses on open learning environments where analytics-based assessment is rather underexplored in contrast to assessment in specialized (intelligent tutoring) systems where the combined use of data mining and psychometric techniques has been established for some time now.

Fighting level 3: From the LA framework to LA practice on the micro-levelHendrik Drachsler
This presentation explores shortcomings of learning analytics for the wide adoption in educational organisations. It is NOT about ethics and privacy rather than focuses on shortcomings of learning analytics for teachers and students in the classroom (micro-level). We investigated if and to what extend learning analytics dashboards are addressing educational concepts. Map opportunities and challenges for the use of Learning Analytics dashboards for the design of courses, and present an evaluation instrument for the effects of Learning Analytics called EFLA. EFLA can be used to measure the effects of LA tools at the teacher and student side. It is a robust but light (8 items) measurement to quickly investigate the level of adoption of learning analytics in a course (micro-level). The presentation concludes that Learning Analytics is still to much a computer science dicipline that does not fulfill the often claimed position of the middle space between educational and computer science research.
Introduction to Learning Analytics for High School Teachers and ManagersVitomir Kovanovic
Presentation at the first Learning Analytics Learning Network (LALN) Event in Adelaide, Australia on Oct 22, 2019.
Abstract:
With the increased adoption of technology, institutions have unprecedented opportunities to continuously improve the quality of their services through data collection and analysis. Schools and universities now have data about learners and their contexts that can provide valuable insight into how they learn. Early attempts were directed towards mining educational data to identify students-at-risk and develop interventions. Recently, more sophisticated approaches are being deployed by researchers and practitioners. These include analysis of learner behaviour that leads to various learning outcomes, social networks and teams, employability, creativity, and critical thinking. Analysing digital traces generated through learning processes requires a broad suite of methods from data science, statistics, psychometrics, social and learning sciences.
This workshop aims to introduce teachers and educators to the fast growing and promising field of learning analytics. How digital data can be used for the analysis and improvement of student learning will be explored. First, we will provide an overview of learning analytics, its key methods and approaches, as well as problems for which it can be used. Secondly, attendees will engage in group learning activities to explore ways in which learning analytics could be used within their institutions. The focus will be on identifying learning-related challenges that are relevant to their particular context and exploring how learning analytics can be used to practically and effectively.

What does the future hold for learning analytics? In terms of Europe’s priorities for learning and training, they will need to support relevant and high-quality knowledge, skills and competences developed throughout lifelong learning. More specifically, they should improve the quality and efficiency of education and training, enhance creativity and innovation, and focus on learning outcomes in areas such as employability, active-citizenship and well-being. This is a tall order and, in order to achieve it, we need to consider how our work fits into the larger picture. Drawing on the outcomes of two recent European studies, Rebecca will discuss how we can avoid potential pitfalls and develop an action plan that will drive the development of analytics that enhance both learning and teaching.

Overview of the LAEP learning analytics projectLACE Project
Overview of the LAEP project - implications and opportunities of learning analytics for European educational policy. Presented at the LAEP / LACE workshop held in Amsterdam, 15-16 March 2016.
Presented at: Higher Education Academy’s Strategic Excellence Initiative for Vice Chancellors or Principals- Celebrating and Sharing the Work, London, Grand Connaught Rooms 26 May.
DESCRIPTION:
Learning analytics is at a critical juncture in its lifecycle. To date, much of the learning analytics-related research, software development, and standards work that exists has taken place in relative isolation. This lack of collaboration, openness, and integrated systems greatly limits the
potential of learning analytics. LA initiatives have typically been dependent upon “closed” systems, proprietary data models and single use tools – as opposed to an integrated software suite for analyzing and communicating data on learning processes.
As institutions begin to move past discussion and into implementation of learning analytics environments, the realization of an open source platform for learning analytics becomes increasingly important as an option for institutions to consider alongside commercial offerings. In this presentation, learning analytics practitioners Josh Baron, Sandeep Jayaprakash and Alan Berg discuss a strategic vision of an open source platform, including standards, systems, and tools, that can lower the barrier to entry for institutions looking to get started with learning analytics.
There will be a short demo of current components of the platform as well as details on accessing/contributing to the open-source code repository and how to get more involved in the Apereo LAI.
Speakers:
David Lewis, senior analytics consultant, Jisc

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
