:::Workshop Overview:::
The increasing amount of data generated in digital learning contexts provides opportunities to benefit from learning analytics as well as challenges related to interoperability, privacy, and pedagogical and organizational models. As a consequence, new methodologies and technological tools are necessary to analyze and make sense of these data and provide personalized scaffolding and services to stakeholders including students, faculty/teachers and administrators, as well as parents. Pedagogical and organizational models must also be incorporated in order to take advantage of the personalized scaffolding and services to ensure productive learning and teaching. In addition, access to data from different sources raises a number of concerns related to data sharing and interoperability, and protection of privacy for individuals and business interests for institutions.
:::Joint Activity on predicting student performance:::
This year participants will also have a chance to partake in a joint activity on the prediction of student performance by analyzing reading patterns from logs of an e-book system. A dataset of anonymized reading log data is provided in advance to create models that can predict the final grade scores for each student. Participants will be encouraged to share their results and insights by submitting a paper for presentation at the workshop. For more details please refer to the joint activity website: https://lab.let.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/icce2018la/.
We call for papers in addition to the joint activity that cover technical, theoretical, pedagogical, as well as organizational issues in learning analytics.
