Learning analytics: Building bridges between the Education and the Computing communities
Hosted by ITS 2018 – Half Day Workshop, June 11, 2018
The Learning Analytics (LA) and Educational Data Mining (EDM) fields have generated a wealth of research over the last decade, including two yearly conferences and two scientific journals. However, these topics are relatively new in the field of educational science. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to share their perspective on how this research has impacted the education field. Among the questions we wish to address is whether the two communities have a common perspective of the LA and EDM fields, and whether their expectations converge toward a common set of requirements. We also would like to address the perceived contributions of LA/EDM to the Educational community and to the Technology Enhanced Learning field, including MOOCs and the range of applications that foster means of self-driven learning.
