THEME
******
*Student’s learning happens where the learner is* , rather than being
constrained to a single physical or digital environment. In fact, students
commonly interact at diverse physical spaces and with a variety of
educational tools. In this tutorial, participants will explore the
challenges of designing data-intensive solutions to support learning and
provide feedback to students in blended learning scenarios through
collaborative prototyping. Specifically, this tutorial explores a number
of *design* and *prototyping issues* such as defining the short-term future
vision of ubiquitous and pervasive learning support, dealing with
heterogeneous data, collecting multimodal sources of student’s data beyond
clickstreams and acknowledging potential ethical issues that may arise. By
bringing together researchers, practitioners, designers and makers in an
intense but reflective day of *prototyping cross-space learning analytics
and adaptation experiences*, we believe this tutorial will advance the
development of a vision of the kind of work that needs to be done to make
real progress in this interesting area of learning support.
PLANNED ACTIVITIES
*****************
The tutorial will be focused on applying *fast prototyping techniques* to
design data-intensive initiatives to provide continued support to *learning
across digital and physical spaces* (see Table below).
The tutorial will be run as a simplified version of a *design sprint* where
participants will engage first in individually generating ideas (both
optimistic and pessimistic – Tasks 1 & 2) about analytics and
personalisation innovations and the learning scenarios where these can be
applied. Then, quick prototyping techniques will be operationalised
(including quick sketching, storyboarding and sharing – Tasks 3 & 4). The
design activities will be highly collaborative, giving room to discussion,
cross-pollination and collectively developing selected ideas. The critical
topics of discussion will be elicited from the audience. From experience in
previous sessions, some critical themes that have emerged are: multimodal
emerging technologies, the challenges imposed by heterogeneous data sources
and potential surveillance and ethical issues.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
******************
As a result of the very hands-on design-based session, we expect that
participants will:
1) Gain understanding about how *rapid prototyping* collaborative
techniques from the design field could be used to envisage emerging
applications of learner modelling and personalisation research; and
2) Contribute to the development of the *vision* for this emerging area of
interest that considers the physicality of the learning environments into
the design loop of analytics and personalisation innovations.
3) Connect the interested community towards a submission to the *UMUAI
Special Issue* on Multimodal Learning Analytics & Personalized Support
Across Spaces (first Deadline 2017) crosslak.utscic.edu.au/umuai/
While this tutorial can be considered to be grounded on a consolidated line
interest on the topic of learning across spaces, in this case, the focus is
on the particular challenges to provide continued support to students by
using learning analytics and adaptation techniques.
