Learning Analytics in Higher Education: Challenges with Multiple Data Sources - Weiqin Chen



There has been a lot of excitement in recent years about how learning analytics can provide insights into learning and teaching and support evidence-based decision making in education. At the same time, the diversity of tools and sensors in a higher educational context and the diversity of data generated, pose great challenges to collection, integration and analysis of data, presentation and understanding of the analysis results, as well as privacy management. In this talk Chen will discuss these challenges in the context of existing literature and practices and look into the possible solutions to address the challenges
