Ein Bericht von Dr. Christoph Rensing über die Learning Analytics & Knowledge Conference 2020 oder: Wie man eine internationale wissenschaftliche Konferenz trotz COVID-19 erfolgreich durchführen kann
With the growing interests in utilizing the abundant data collected by various educational systems and tools to facilitate teaching and learning, Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) and Educational Data Mining (EDM) emerged as two mainstream conferences for researchers and practitioners to report and share findings that are gained from such data-intensive research practices.
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have opened new educational possibilities for learners around the world. Numerous providers have emerged, which usually have different targets (geographical, topics or language), but most of the research and spotlight has been concentrated on the global providers and studies with limited generalizability.
The big data revolution is an exciting opportunity for universities, which typically have rich and complex digital data on their learners. It has motivated many universities around the world to invest in the development and implementation of learning analytics dashboards (LADs).
In this episode, we discuss the topic of measuring impact with Dr Linda Corrin from Swinburne University in Australia and Prof Bart Rienties from Open University in the UK
This episode of the SoLAR Spotlight podcast series features Grace Lynch, Nicole Hoover, Vitomir Kovanovic, and Hendrik Drachsler (four members of the LAK20 organising team) as guests and is hosted by Maren Scheffel. They talk about what it is like to organise the Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference and provide some insights into what will happen at this year’s edition of LAK - the 10th anniversary of the conference.
Im März steht Frankfurt am Main im Zeichen von Learning Analytics: Aus allen Teilen der Welt strömen dann wissenschaftliche Expertinnen und Experten für diesen Teilbereich der digitalen Bildung auf den Campus Westend, um sich auf einer Konferenz über entsprechende Weiterentwicklungen und Perspektiven auszutauschen.
