LABBEC 2019 workshop at EDM2019, Montreal
Learning Analytics: Building bridges between the Education and the
Computing communities
http://griemetic.ca/fr/evenements/educational-data-mining-2019/
The Educational Data Mining (EDM) and Learning Analytics (LA) fields
have generated a wealth of research over the last decade, including two
yearly conferences and two scientific journals. This workshop aims to
foster the dissemination of this research to the education community.
It will bring together researchers and practitioners to share their
perspective on how this research has impacted the education field, and
assess what lays ahead. 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.
Topics of interest, while not limited to, are:
*
Expectations of the educational community towards EDM
*
Role of psychometrics in EDM and vice-versa
*
EDM tools and methods in education
*
Statistical learning methods in psychometrics
*
Research divide between EDM and education and psychometrics
*
Obstacles to dissemination between communities
*
EDM in the education curriculum
This half-day workshop is the second edition of LABBEC, the first one
being held at ITS2018. It will be part of the EDM2019 conference in
Montreal on July 2.
