This study examines the use of data analytics to evaluate students' behaviours during their participation in an online collaborative learning environment called SkyApp. To visualise the learning traits of engagement, emotion and motivation, students' inputs and activity data were captured and quantified for analysis. Experiments were first carried…

Recent research on learning analytics dashboards has focused on designing user interfaces that offer various forms of "visualization guidance" (often referring to notions such as "data storytelling" or "narrative visualization") to teachers (e.g., emphasizing data points or trends with colour and adding annotations),…

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the research on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in primary education to explore its potential to enhance teaching and learning processes. Through a systematic review of the relevant literature, this study identifies key areas in which AI can significantly impact primary education and…

Under the background of educational informatization, data-driven teaching decision-making has become a key means to improve the quality of education, but there are some shortcomings in the use of data in college English teaching decision-making. This study constructs an evaluation system of college English teaching decision-making ability,…

Guided by the principle "good data presentation is timeless," (Cressey, 2014, p.305), this unit project challenges students to engage an alternative means of sharing communication research and to realize the potential for their presentations to become "visual legacies" through the creation of infographics. Students encounter…

The prevalent paradigm for understanding what constitutes a 'good' data visualization, and what we are likely teaching business students, relates to a conventional wisdom of efficiency, clarity, transparency, and faithful representation of truth. Teaching about the ethics of visualizations seems to be largely absent from business school curricula.…

The adoption of educational technologies such as e-textbook has offered a new opportunity to gain insight into teachers' usage of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies). In the e-textbook platform, customized digital products and the learning activities organized in digital environment require teachers to make greater efforts in planning…

With the rise of accountability policies since the early nineties, the daily operation of English schools has profoundly changed. Through the in-depth analysis of ability grouping practices in one English secondary school, this paper aims to explore how the accountability shift and datafication impacted the practice of student grouping and…

Supporting language skills for children who evidence delays in preschool is an important area of focus for school-age reading outcomes. Two preschool teachers were trained to implement a play-based language intervention, Enhanced Milieu Teaching (EMT), with children from low-income households with delayed language skills. A multiple-baseline…

Prospective teachers and cryptography students use programming, statistics and guile to enrich both their courses.

Extensive research in learning science has established the importance of time management in online learning. Recently, learning analytics (LA) has shed further lights on the temporal characteristics of learning by allowing researchers to capture authentic digital footprints of student learning behaviours. Nonetheless, students' timing of…

Probabilistic reasoning underpins much of middle school students' future work in data analysis and inferential statistics. Unfortunately for many middle school students, probabilistic reasoning is not intuitive. One specific area in which students seem to struggle is determining the probability of compound events (Moritz and Watson 2000). Research…

Increasingly, students training in the biological sciences depend on a proper grounding in biological statistics, data science and experimental design. As biological datasets increase in size and complexity, transparent data management and analytical methods are essential skills for undergraduate biologists. We propose that using the software R…

Humans have always been lured by the idea that they can use data to understand a phenomenon and make predictions about it. Learning analytics, in this sense, promise to understand and optimize learning and the environments in which it occurs by collecting data from learners and learning contexts. In this regard, this study systematically examines…

With the impactful nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, this manuscript describes a teaching case for COVID-19 vaccinations to develop students' knowledge of analytics and supply chain management. The experiential learning activity is developed in the context of an undergraduate upper-level course on descriptive analytics and data visualization. The…
