IWTA 2013 - 3rd International Workshop on Teaching Analytics (IWTA-2013b)

The core problem that this workshop series on “Teaching Analytics” addresses is that in comparison with many other professionals that involve rapid decisions in a dynamically changing environment, presently teachers often do not get the data they need for decision-making in a timely fashion and in a meaningful and actionable format. Teaching Analytics as an emerging research area focuses on the design, development, evaluation, and education of visual analytics methods and tools for teachers in primary, secondary, and tertiary educational settings. Teachers’ professional practices with visual analytics methods and tools are a central concern of teaching analytics. Teaching analytics methods and tools aim to develop innovative solutions to assist and augment teachers’ dynamic decision-making in the classrooms of the 21st century. Furthermore, institutional learning can be supported by using aggregated data for decision-making in educational organizations. This can range from diagnostics, to data from standardized tests to socio-economic context data.
