Assessment design

Detection can
be considered
as a deterrent,
not a solution

There is no such thing as an
uncheatable assessment!

The University of the Roller Coaster How can Higher Education function in a world struggling to save itself from climate change, pandemics and war? How can it drive innovation and shape the future as the pace of technological change constantly increases? How can it re-invent itself to respond imaginatively to the new challenges facing humanity? We are living in an uncertain, unpredictable world with no “back to normal” any more. So, how can we re-imagine higher education when nothing can be taken for granted? What kind of technologies can help universities to adapt? What lessons can we learn from recent successes and failures? What 'best practice' examples point the way into the future? How can we shape the development of institutions, so that they are neither “ivory towers” nor “competence factories"? How can we encourage future-oriented universities in which both pedagogy and research are fit for the challenges ahead? In the Academic Plenary, our experts will examine the threats and opportunities facing higher education today and ask how we can design new approaches that prepare staff and students to thrive in the University of the Roller Coaster.

Where is Theory in Learning Analytics

Srecko Joksimovic

The whole educational community should ensure that academic integrity values are at the heart of the discussion. This community includes students. This keynote presentation, delivered for the RMIT Learning and Teaching Festival 2022, asked "what's possible", considering future challenges of academic integrity, how staff can ensure that students are supported throughout their learning journey and examples of the valuable work that students can lead on to support the wider sector. These slides are slightly edited from the original presentation to remove some RMIT specific strategic examples but the general concepts and ideas should be valuable everywhere.

Human-Centered Learning Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Education: H...

Yannis

Although Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Learning Analytics (LA) have shown their potential in Education, stakeholders’ agency seems to be threatened. On the other hand, multiple issues regarding FATE (Fairness, Accountability, Transparency and Ethics) have been raised when AI or LA-based solutions are designed and implemented. These issues have been especially acute since the emergence of Large Language Models and Generative AI. This talk discusses the quest for an optimal balance between human and computational agents, when LA tools and services are employed in a Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) ecosystem. Through the discussion of relevant conceptual models and examples, it argues for Human-Centered Learning Analytics (HCLA) and Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HCAI) approaches, where agency and FATE principles are essential design parameters. The talk focuses especially on LA/AI solutions that may position teachers as designers of effective interventions and orchestration actions. Selected Human-Centered Design (HCD) principles are discussed and illustrated, and directions for future research and development are formulated to overcome the main obstacles for adoption of human-centered approaches for LA and AI in education.

«Learning Analytics at the Open University and the UK»

Bart Rienties

In this seminar, Prof Bart Rienties will reflect on how the Open University UK has become a leading institution in implementing learning analytics at scale amongst its 170K students and 5K staff. Furthermore, he will discuss how learning analytics is being adopted at other UK institutions, and what the implications for higher education might be. eMadrid seminar on «Review and challenges in Learning Analytics»

Can learning analytics offer meaningful assessment?

Dragan Gasevic

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. The talk 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 assessment has been established for some time now.
