Prieto, Luis P.; Rodríguez-Triana, María Jesús; Martínez-Maldonado, Roberto; Dimitriadis, Yannis; Gaševic, Dragan – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Despite the recent surge of interest in learning analytics (LA), their adoption in everyday classroom practice is still slow. Knowledge gaps and lack of inter-stakeholder communication (particularly with educational practitioners) have been posited as critical factors for previous LA adoption failures. Yet, what issues should researchers,…

Steven Moore; John Stamper; Norman Bier; Mary Jean Blink – Grantee Submission, 2020
In this paper we show how we can utilize human-guided machine learning techniques coupled with a learning science practitioner interface (DataShop) to identify potential improvements to existing educational technology. Specifically, we provide an interface for the classification of underlying Knowledge Components (KCs) to better model student…
