Human-Centred Learning Analytics (Dr Roberto Martinez-Maldonado)
The ultimate aim of most Learning Analytics innovations is to close the human-data loop by providing direct support to “end-users” (e.g. teachers and learners). However, presenting data to non-data savvy stakeholders is not a trivial problem. Trending topics in Learning Analytics emphasise the importance of the human factors and the particularities of educational situations in the successful appropriation of Learning Analytics.
This presentation will:
- provide a high-level overview of the rapidly growing interest in Human-Centred Learning Analytics,
- explore potential ways in which the R&D in this area can evolve in the next years,
- present some examples from research in the areas of multimodal learning analytics and data storytelling, emphasising some lessons learnt so far and potential areas of future research.
