Improving the quality and sustainability of learning using early intervention methods based on learning analytics

Objectives

ISILA aims to achieve the following:

Develop intervention methods guidelines based on learning analytics (LA) of student learning data.
Identify metrics for tracking student engagement, to increase student learning effectiveness
Design and develop an online platform for collecting, processing, and visualizing multimodal data.
Conduct evaluation case studies for the proposed methods and tools.
Identify learning patterns for continuous improvement of an LA-based intervention method.

Implementation

Continuous project management
Preparation of data infrastructure, which includes the design and development of an online platform with dashboards for collecting, processing, storing and visualizing multimodal data
Preparation of legal and ethical guidelines for usage of learner data
Development of intervention methods based on learning analytics
Conducting piloting of developed methods and tools
Dissemination of project results.

Expected Results

The expected results are:

To develop an online platform for collecting, processing, and storing learner data from heterogeneous sources.
To develop a multimodal data dashboard for learner data visualization
To develop guidelines for intervention methods based on learning analytics (LA)
To define ethical requirements for the collection and usage of learner data
To raise awareness among target stakeholders that LA can be used as a powerful tool to track student engagement
