Learning Analytics in Computer
Science education

2. Introduction
Learning Analytics for Computer Science (CS)
Education:
Student logging and behavior analyzed in introductory
programming courses
Predictions of students’ performance based on data
collected in their computing courses
Metrics to quantify the rate of student errors and detect if
he or she is struggling with important programming
concepts
Analysing the process data of students to introduce
students' patterns of programming
Main issue
Computational aspects of learning analytics must be well
integrated within the existing educational research
(Gasevic, 2015) including the analysis of instructional
conditions

3. Introduction
Current proposal
Instructional perspective is introduced to match
Educational issues present in different Computing teaching
settings
Collected data and learning analysis processes
CS instructional conditions
Strong practice lab component or problem-based
approaches addressed in computing curricula
Perspective close to students and lecturers who are not
familiar with LA
Practical and simple LA approach
Formulate learning analytical questions about academic
outcomes & get understandable answers back

13. Conclusions
Instructional perspective about the use of learning
analytics tools to combine
collection of data sources linked to instructional outcomes
simplicity to process and analyse these data sources
The computing courses tested in this work show the
potential of this perspective
to deal with multiple types of instructional settings
to collect and display learning information in a simple way

My name is Félix Buendía and I’m a lecturer in the Computing school at UPV. I will present a work concerning an instructional perspective of learning analytics in the context of computing education courses.
Let me start by introducing the role of learning analytics in a context of Computer Science (CS) Education that has focused mainly on programming courses
Main issue: we have to take into account the educational context in which LA techniques are applied.
Then, the current proposal is based on first, identifiy those educational features and instructional conditions in a computing teaching context and second, select data sources according to these features and conditions
Lab notebook in gpr (mpp)
Operating Systems with a strong practical component
To finish my presentation I will conclude by remarking the high number and diversity of academic information sources that are involved in any kind of practical activities.
We don’t have an institutional dashboard able to provide us LA measures so we have to build them
