... Therefore, educational research and practice may benefit from aligning traditional (human-labelled) and modern (automated) classroom observations; thanks to the evidence collected from the physical space, they can support the triangulation, contextualization and sensemaking of MMLA data. On the one hand, observations could aid the MMLA contextual and methodological needs, and on the other MMLA could alleviate the complexity and workload of human-driven observations: enrich the data, speed up the observation process by automatization or gather evidence on indicators unobservable to the human eye, as already indicated by previous authors (Anguera, Portell, Chacón-Moscoso, & Sanduvete-Chaves, 2018) (Bryant et al., 2017). Furthermore, technological solutions may further reinforce the use of specific coding schemas, contributing to the quality and availability of the data; speed up the process of observations (Kahng & Iwata, 1998), and enhance validity and reliability of data (Ocumpaugh et al., 2015). ...
