Structure of Learning Analytics Field
![Page 6: Columbia TC](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062219/55492ebbb4c90547498c231b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs.

Scope of focus is important factor
EDM: specific variables and factors
LA: systemic and in-context factors
(but this distinction is not hard; overlap and blurring is occurring)

Inter-disciplinary emphasis
Bringing technical, pedagogical, and social domains into dialogue with each other.

literature and research in three primary domains: networks and social media, learning analytics and datamining, and the future of learning and learning institutions.

What is research/science?
Essentially, discovery (identification) of connections
![Page 24: Columbia TC](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062219/55492ebbb4c90547498c231b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Validity of connection interrogation techniques
(Guba & Lincoln, 1994, 2005)
![Page 25: Columbia TC](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062219/55492ebbb4c90547498c231b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The research model in learning analytics– Holistic, not reductionist– Focused on systemic level– Impact and in-context evaluation– Social, technical, pedagogical
![Page 26: Columbia TC](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062219/55492ebbb4c90547498c231b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
An EDM paper (best paper 2012 conf)
Terms: Student model, CTA, cognitive tutor, instructional techniques
Goal: automated technique for the discovery of better student models using input from previously generated models.
Data: DataShop, 300 datasets, 70 million student actions
Methodology: Knowledge components mapped to instructional tasks, LFA algorithm to find better models
![Page 27: Columbia TC](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062219/55492ebbb4c90547498c231b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
A LAK paper (2012 conf)
Terms: learning sciences, engagement, design, learning ‘power’, competencies
Goals: “a learning analytics infrastructure for gathering data at scale, managing stakeholder permissions, the range of analytics that it supports from real time summaries to exploratory research, and a particular visual analytic which has been shown to have demonstrable impact on learners.
Data: survey data, Learning Warehouse, >40,000. Not auto-tracked, instead: learner self-disclosing
Methodology: ELLI visualization and validation using Learning Warehouse (ELLI intends to “provide educators with a practical tool to enable rapid assessment and intervention of a complex quality, to stimulate change in learners”)

A LAK paper (2012 conf)
Terms: networks, community structure, SNA, distributed learning
Goals: Resolving: “multiple means of participation, each with their own Interactional and social affordances…Events in these media may be logged in different formats and databases, disassociating actions that for participants were part of a single unified activity.”
Methodology: “developed an abstract transcript representation called the Entity-Event-Contingency (EEC) graph that provides a unified analytic artifact [33]; and an analytic hierarchy derived from the EEC that supports multiple levels of analysis”
Data: Participant interaction in TappedIn, 150k members

Challenges
Scope of data captureIdentifying critical elements that matterGenerating multi-dimensional models
![Page 30: Columbia TC](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062219/55492ebbb4c90547498c231b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“Learning and knowledge creation is often distributed across multiple media and sites in networked environments. Traces of such activity may be fragmented across multiple logs and may not match analytic needs. As a result, the coherence of distributed interaction and emergent phenomena are analytically cloaked”
Suthers, Rosen, 2011
