Modeling the Macro-Behavior of Learning Object RepositoriesXavier Ochoa
Presentation at LACLO 2010. How the publication in Learning Object Repositories can be simply modelled based on the rate of production, the lifetime and the user growth.
Supporting the Acquisition of 21st Century Skills through Multimodal Learning...Xavier Ochoa
Collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving are among the skills that are needed to study and work in this 21st century. As important as they are, evaluating, assessing and teaching them in a practical, scalable and efficient way is still a challenge not fully met by current pedagogical-technological practices. Multimodal Learning Analytics (MmLA), the processing and analysis of multiple sources of data to better understand and improve learning processes, has been posed as a possible solution to augment the natural capabilities of both instructors and students to provide and receive feedback to support the development of those skills. During this session, we will explore the affordances that low-cost sensors and current advances in artificial intelligence provide to automatically record and analyze face-to-face, complex learning processes as those involved for the development of 21st-Century Skills. Finally, we will discuss and ideate practical MmLA tools that could be built to augment your current teaching and learning practices.
Talk at EdD week at NYU - January 2020. This talk describes how Learning Analytics and Artificial Intelligence will help to augment teachers and students.

During this session, we will have a hands-on demo of two systems to automatically generate feedback for communication and collaboration skills; then, we will explore the affordances that low-cost sensors and current advances in artificial intelligence provide to automatically record and analyze face-to-face, complex learning processes as those involved for the development of 21st-Century Skills. Finally, we will discuss and ideate practical MmLA tools that could be built to augment your current teaching and learning practices.

Automatic Feedback for Oral PresentationsXavier Ochoa
This presentation was given at the Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference about an automatic feedback for oral presentation system for entry-level higher-education students.
Education as the meta-problem: Opportunities for Technology R&DXavier Ochoa
Keynote at ECTM 2016: The massification of education at the start of the industrial revolution created an efficient but less effective learning process compared to one-to-one tutoring. The information age has only increased the pressure on the educational system and revealed its shortcomings. However, the same technological advancement can also help the system to be not only more efficient but even more effective than before. During this talk, the impact that applied research in a large array of technological fields (from AI to IoT) could have in understanding and improving the learning process will be discussed.
Medir para Entender y Mejorar: la Analítica del Aprendizaje como nuevo paradi...Xavier Ochoa
Keynote en LACLO 2016. La Analítica del Aprendizaje es una nueva herramienta que promete revolucionar las ciencias y tecnologías educativas. Nacidad de la intersección de la Ciencias de Datos, Computacionales y Educativas, la Analítica del Aprendizaje permite obtener una mejor imagen de lo que sucede durante el proceso de enseñanza - aprendizaje. Pero más allá de simplmente mejorar nuestra comprensión del proceso, la retroalimentación oportuna a los humanos involucrados (estudiantes, profesores y administradores educativos) hace que la Analítica del Aprendizaje sea el vehículo para epoderar a estos actores y así mejorar desde dentro el proceso educativo. En esta charla examinaremos los mas recientes desarrollos en el campo de la Analítica del Aprendizaje, sus oportunidades para la educación en América Latina, así como también los posibles escollos y problemas que tendría su implementación. Esta charla también es una propuesta e invitación a la incorporación de componentes analíticos en las herramientas tecnológicas que desarrollamos con la finalidad de medir su verdadero impacto en la mejora educativa.
