Lay Description
What is already known about this topic?
Learning design (LD) is the pedagogic process used in teaching/learning that leads to the creation and sequencing of learning activities and the environment in which it occurs.
Learning analytics (LA) is the measurement, collection, analysis & reporting of data about learners and their contex...
Freshmen in Higher Education are required to exhibit a strong inclination to taking ownership of their own learning. It entails well-developed self-regulated learning competences. This demand is further exacerbated in purely online settings such as open distant learning, MOOCs, or disruptive circumstances like the COVID pandemic. Time management sk...
The presence of plants in learning spaces can substantially improve well-being among students and teachers. Plants can positively influence environmental parameters such as air quality, temperature, or reverberation, but they also have an impact on parameters such as concentration, collaboration, and learning performance. This study aims to use pla...
Purpose
The University of Mauritius (UoM) established as a traditional face-to-face university has been engaged in distance education since 1993 and in e-learning since 2001 to establish itself as a dual-mode institution. In a context where it has engaged itself to promote its internationalization of online courses and a digital learning transforma...
According to recent studies, the social interactions of users such as sharing, rating, and reviewing can improve the value of digital learning objects and resources on the web. Linked data techniques, on the other hand, make different kinds of data available and reusable for other applications on the web. Exposing (meta)data, especially with a comp...
Research report on a personalised competence framework for learning analytics in the context of self-regulated learning. This was produced as part of the European SLIDEshow project (slideshow-project.eu). The framework is based on the European Qualifications Framework EQF.
tMAIL [Teacher Mobile Application for Innovative Learning] developed and tested a mobile application and online platforms supporting policy, teacher education, and primary school teachers in implementing classroom practices that stimulate students’ self-regulated learning (SRL). The tMAIL theoretical framework explains the underlying principles, ro...
Educational institutions are designing, creating and evaluating courses to optimize learning outcomes for highly diverse student populations. Yet, most of the delivery is still monitored retrospectively with summative evaluation forms. Therefore, improvements to the course design are only implemented at the very end of a course, thus missing to ben...
Many higher education institutions today offer online delivery as an alternative or addition to provide more flexibility to learners. However, students being confronted with such services come with different expectations to what that means to their learning paths and behaviours. Learning Analytics is a rather new and innovative way of making studen...
The widespread adoption of Learning Analytics (LA) and Educational Data Mining (EDM) has somewhat stagnated recently, and in some prominent cases even been reversed following concerns by governments, stakeholders and civil rights groups about privacy and ethics applied to the handling of personal data. In this ongoing discussion, fears and realitie...
Modern technologies facilitate new forms of learning. Technology-enhanced language learning (TELL) has seen dramatic changes in the facilitation of self-directed learning opportunities, but also in enhancing the learning experience in classroom-based formal language learning. In our study, we investigate the potential of new technologies and want t...
This article presents three case studies of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) based in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, all of whom are involved in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) market. In particular, it documents the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for remotely based companies involved in ICT w...
Much has been written lately about the potential of Learning Analytics for improving learning and teaching. Nevertheless, most of the contributions to date are concentrating on the abstract theoretical or algorithmic level, or, deal with academic efficiencies like teachers’ grading habits. This paper wants to focus on the value that Learning Analyt...
Several standard metadata notations exist for content items (e.g., IEEE LOM) or persons (e.g., HR–XML). Additionally, a number of classes of metadata such as competence metadata, social metadata, etc. exist in ranges from strict vocabularies to folksonomies. For social metadata, however, several diverse schemata have been proposed, but no commonly...
With the increase in available educational data, it is expected that Learning Analytics will become a powerful means to inform and support learners, teachers and their institutions in better understanding and predicting personal learning needs and performance. However, the processes and requirements behind the beneficial application of Learning and...

Professional Development is ill served by traditional ways of learning. It can profit from a Learning Networks approach, which emphasizes logistic, content and didactic flexibility. Learning Networks are online, social networks that have been de-signed and tooled to foster informal learning. Three European projects are discussed – idSpace, LTfLL, H...
While there is currently much buzz about the new field of learning analytics and the potential it holds for benefiting teaching and learning, there is also much uncertainty and hesitation, even extending to skepticism. A clear common understanding and vision for the domain has not formed yet among the educator community. A survey among educational...
