Presentation of discussion panel during EMOOCs2016 conference on latest survey HOME project compared to other research. Several independent studies have been conducted about why institutions are investing in MOOCs and open education. During this discussion session, the results of some recent studies are presented. The data suggest significant differences between US and Europe and even between European countries. This difference will be discussed and in addition the possible implications for a (collective) European answer.
Empirical Approach to Identifying Digital Learning Innovation TrendsTanya Joosten
The focus of this effort was to illustrate trends in digital learning innovation. Digital learning innovations were to be located through a scan of the postsecondary environment through various data sources in order to identify prominent innovations that have the potential to improve student outcomes in postsecondary education. Digital learning innovations were to include technologies, such as adaptive learning and open education resources, that improve access, equity, and learning. A timeframe for the collection of relevant data was established from January 1st, 2018, to September 1st, 2019. Previous DLI award analysis was included as one data source. Other data sources included industry leaders, national organizations advancing technology and learning, prominent research centers, influential research journals (peer reviewed), popular news and media outlets, funded initiatives, key institutions, vendors or products of interest, and other key publications from national organizations or efforts to see what themes and topics are relevant in the current landscape. Over a dozen data sources were reviewed. Documents, including articles, reports, web content, and more) were pulled directly from database and organizations’ sites when possible. Informal interviews were conducted with various academic leaders in the field at key organizations. Articles were summarized noting key themes and findings until themes were saturated, at which point key themes were noted but articles were not summarized. Articles were saved and compiled on a server for additional review or verification. In sum, over 400 articles were reviewed.
What is the future for education, will it be more of the same, what is it leading to, social drivers, technology drivers, economic drivers, government policies, education scenarios, demographic drivers, jobs of the future, who will it affect. These are all covered in Shaping Tomorrow's presentation.

What is the true scope of learning analytics? Which part of the institution should be involved? How are they connected. A-LASI workshop co-presented with Phil Renner
Open Learning Analytics panel at Open Education Conference 2014Stian Håklev
The past five years have seen a dramatic growth in interest in the emerging field of Learning Analytics (LA), and particularly in the potential the field holds to address major challenges facing education. However, much of the work in the learning analytics landscape today is closed in nature, small in scale, tool- or software-centric, and relatively disconnected from other LA initiatives. This lack of collaboration, openness, and system integration often leads to fragmentation where learning data cannot be aggregated across different sources, institutions only have the option to implement "closed" systems, and cross disciplinary research opportunities are limited. Beyond the immediate concerns this fragmentation creates for educators and learners, a closed approach dramatically limits our ability to build upon successes, learn from failures and move beyond the "pockets of excellence (and failures)? approach that typifies much of the educational technology landscape.
The potential benefits of openness as a core value within the learning analytics community are numerous. Learning initiatives could be informed by large scale research projects. Open-source software, such as dashboards and analytics engines, could be available free of licensing costs and easily enhanced by others, and OERs could become more personalized to match learners' needs. Open data sets and reproducible papers could rapidly spread understanding of analytical approaches, enabling secondary analysis and comparison across research projects. To realize this future, leaders within the learning analytics, open technologies (software, standards, etc.), open research (open data, open predictive models, etc.) and open learning (OER, MOOCs, etc.) fields have established a "network of practice" aimed at connecting subject matter experts, projects, organizations and companies working in these domains. As an initial organizing event, these leaders organized an Open Learning Analytics (OLA) Summit directly following the 2014 Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) conference this past March as means to further the goal of establishing "openness' as a core value of the larger learning analytics movement. Additional details on the Summit and those involved can be found at: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2014/04/prweb11754343.htm.
This panel session will bring together several thought leaders from the Open Learning Analytics community who participated in the Summit to facilitate an interactive dialog with attendees on the intersection of learning analytics and open learning, open technologies, open data, and open research. The presenters represent a broad range of experience with institutional analytics projects, an open source development consortium, the sharing of open learner data, and academic research on open learning environments.

Putting Data to Work
This session explores changing data sensibilities at US post-secondary institutions with particular attention paid to how predictive analytics are changing expectations for institutional accountability and student success. Results from the Predictive Analytics Reporting Framework show that predictive modeling can identify students at risk and that linking behavioral predictions of risk with interventions to mitigate those risks at the point of need is a powerful strategy for increasing rates of student retention, academic progress and completion.

EMMA poster at EDEN.
As Facebook publishes figures showing that social networks have reduced the degree of separation of people on the planet from 6 to 3.7, it is a platitude to say that they are
powerful communication tools. However, the literature on their impact within MOOCs is still emerging, where the learning community already resides within its own space
on the MOOC platform and where teaching units are accompanied by a forum for requesting clarification or information.
In a recent MOOC on the EMMA platform (www.europeanmoocs.eu), “Coding in your classroom, now”, Facebook was used as an additional learning environment, to post
and share information on content related to the course, to comment lessons and assignments, or simply to share a common experience and outcomes.
The user-community network that has developed around the course has grown from the 6,000 learners enrolled on the course to reach a population of 100,000.
The community started to exchange information about their area, schools and classes, and to use the learning experience on the MOOC to share and build knowledge and
even plan meetups in their local area. Sentiment analysis, with keywords, online expressions, concepts, contexts, shows that socials acted as a powerful tool not only for
dissemination of the course but also for informing thousands of people about the innovative features the Emma platform was experimenting.
Last but most importantly, they became a powerful tool for sharing best teaching practice in the field. This work presents an exploration of the learning community on this
course and evidence for some of the observations we make, trying to understand what impact this hybrid model of MOOC delivery has on the creation of the learning
community and student engagement.

EMMA poster at EDEN.
Coding has been recognized by the Italian National Plan for Digital School (PNSD) as one of fundamental disciplines to
be introduced at school level. In order to reach such an objective, the University of Urbino offered for free a MOOC on
Coding specifically devoted to school teachers through the European Multiple MOOC Platform (europeanmoocs.eu,
Emma for short). The objective of such aMOOC was to generate a highly scalable process of teaching/learning involving
a plethora of actors: school managers, ICTs experts, teachers, and pupils as final users. The MOOC was organized as a
hands-on experience course, based also on live webinars, illustrating how to organize coding activities using only freely
accessible online resources. This approach allowed teachers to learn the fundamental principles of coding together with
their pupils and to apply computational thinking to any topic, with a non secondary effect: converting role of the
teacher into an enabler factor, restoring their centrality, legitimation and social value. The poster highlights the
dimensions of such an experience, the relevance of pedagogies used, as well as the factors of its success.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. THE ROLE OF ANALYTICS IN EDUCATION
Not only
an educational application of web analytics
LEARNING ANALYTICS
Which allows to
• Profile learners
• Analyse students interactions
• Measure learning uptake
But, also
a tool for measuring operational excellence
ACADEMIC ANALYTICS
“ … the evidence of how the
training /learning organisation is
aligning with and meeting the
goals of the broader organisation”
(van Barneveld, Campbell – 2012)
And
a source of insights aimed at identifying trends to
forecast and plan future strategies
PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS
5. LEARNING
ANALYTICS
One of the most powerful,
disruptive and relevant
innovations in the field of
education
BIG DATA
A new type of corporate
asset, working to leverage
competition
DISTANCE
EDUCATION
No longer an institutional accessory,
BUT it needs funding
Will benefit from the results of the
analysis, which will testify of the
success of the learning experience and
therefore will drive political and social
approval

THE GAME CHANGER EFFECT: the education industry
THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF DATA
6. THE GAME CHANGER EFFECT: the accountability challenge
THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF DATA
The Italian case
• The academic sector needs a re-organization
• An assessment system is put in place re. the research production
essentially based on peer reviewing
• The mono-dimensional nature of the tool – among other weaknesses –
appears unsuitable to cover the complexity of the academic activity
The risk of taking political decisions (e.g. cost reductions and
investments) based on a mono-dimensional evaluation is obvious
Institutions accountability must be based on the wealth of data available:
students success, research production, organisational work, and so on
7. THE GAME CHANGER EFFECT: efficiency
THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF DATA
Data governance can be efficiently managed by the combination of
• Data stewardship
• Reporting
• Query
• Analytic tools
which, efficiently connected, will be able to deploy the descriptive and the
predictive powers of analytics and to inform strategies
8. THE GAME CHANGER EFFECT: from descriptive to predictive
THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF DATA
DESCRIPTION
The usage of Learning Analytics
in the context of online
education is being piloted in
various European projects
• Course design
• Retention rates
• Completion rates
Real time - Retrospective analysis
9. THE GAME CHANGER EFFECT: from descriptive to predictive
THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF DATA
PREDICTION / PRESCRIPTION
Using data mining on datasets of
millions of students records
PARframework*, uses descriptive,
inferential and predictive analyses
to identify variables that should
have direct impact on success
*PARframework.org, adopted by 35 US academic institutions and leveraging on datasets from 350 campuses
THE CHALLENGES
PRIVACY
• Records are de-identified
GOVERNANCE
• Who translates data into policies?
(and, with what kind of expertise?)
• Who sets the objectives?
• Who governs the results?

Who governs the results?
Depending on how this data are looked at and by whom, one might conclude that some groups of
students are not doing well enough and are not worth investing in, which may reproduce /perpetuate
social inequalities
11. THE GAME CHANGER EFFECT: governance
THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF DATA
THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK
Ben Williamson, in the World
Yearbook of Education 2014,
identifies ‘public policy labs’ as a
new actor in educational
governance scene and highlights
the inherent risks
• Not only they diagnose problems but
they also translate ideas and processes
into educational policy proposals
• They transform education into a
‘problematic object’
• They re-configure learners into
‘calculable governing resources’
Individual learners’ data used to inform policies on
which pedagogies and practices work best.
Education as a self-regulating system using database
driven processes
12. THE GAME CHANGER EFFECT: governance
THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF DATA
A WAY OF OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES*
*FERGUSON, 2012
The Learning Analytics community needs to
• Build strong connections with the learning
sciences
• Develop methods of working with a wide
range of datasets in order to optimise
learning environments
• Focus on the perspectives of the learners
• Develop and apply a clear set of ethical
guidelines
BIG DATA need to be deeply rooted in
institutional and organisational practices
and to be supported by
• Strong leadership commitment
• A genuine culture of evidence,
intertwined with
• a discipline of interpretation
(assumption, description, interpretation,
prediction, implication)
13. BIG DATA implications
FOOD FOR THOUGHT AND FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION
What is the social impact of big data and analytics, on standardisation or on social control ?
• the realisation of Clarke’s digital persona “a model of the individual established
through the collection, storage and analysis of data about that person”,
• the ‘dataveillance1’ potential,
• the ‘dataspace2’ influence on our life,
• the data as a ‘meme3’ and the risk of their “naïve or nefarious uses, to restrict
access or to punish”,
• the ‘hidden curriculum4’ effect, …
