  1. Learning Analytics: A short introduction Learning Analytics & Machine Learning March 25, 2014 #LAK14

  2. Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for the purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs. LAK11 Conference

  3. Analytics is the process of developing actionable insights through problem definition and the application of statistical models and analysis against existing and/or simulated future data Cooper, 2012

  4. Historical influences

  5. 1. Citation analysis Garfield, 1955 Page et al., 1999

  6. 2. Social network analysis Milgram, 1967 Granovetter, 1973 Wellman, 1999 Haythornthwaite, 2002

  7. 3. User modeling Rich, 1979 Fischer, 2001 (HCI)

  8. 4. Education/cognitive models Anderson et al., 1995

  9. 5. Tutors (intelligent) Burns, 1989 Anderson et al., 1995

  10. 6. Knowledge discovery in databases Fayyad, 1996

  11. 7. Adaptive hypermedia Brusilovsky, 2001

  12. 8. Digital learning Elearning/online learning MOOCs

  13. Related Business intelligence Academic analytics

  14. Technique: Baker and Yacef (2009) five primary areas of analysis: • Prediction • Clustering • Relationship mining • Distillation of data for human judgment • Discovery with models

  15. Application: Bienkowski, Feng, and Means (2012) five areas of LA/EDM application: - Modeling user knowledge, behavior, and experience - Creating profiles of users - Modeling knowledge domains - Trend analysis - Personalization and adaptation

  16. Why ML? Two main areas of promise for LA: Neuroscience ML (wearable (ambient) computing)
