About ALASI22
Welcome to ALASI22
University of Technology Sydney, 8-9 Dec. 2022
Building 11, Broadway, Ultimo, NSW 2007
We are delighted to announce that the 2022 Australian Learning Analytics Summer Institute (ALASI22) will be held face-to-face, in Sydney! This national gathering convenes as part of the international network of LASI events sponsored by the Society for Learning Analytics Research.
After the 2 year ALASI hiatus, it will be fantastic to connect with each other again, welcome new people into the community, to share our know-how and know-who to build the Learning Analytics community’s capability.
ALASI has been timed to follow immediately after ASCILITE 2022 at University of Sydney, so if you’re attending just add an extra 2 nights on, and walk down the road to UTS.
This is an in-person event.

Submission process
ALASI 2022 – Call for Proposals
We are excited to be coming together physically for the first time in a while to build a program of active sessions that make the most of these in-person opportunities to connect, network, and share. With that in mind, we are calling for proposals from groups or individuals for two main session formats: (1) interactive sessions, (2) show and tell sessions.
Deadline for all submissions: 20th October 2022 – 11:59pm (AEDT)
Interactive Sessions
Interactivity is central to ALASI in 2022 – so the focus will be on sessions that provide opportunities for people to work and share together. Proposals for an Interactive Session are invited for the following suggested types of session design:
- Brainstorm challenges/World cafe
- Panels or debates with a substantial amount of participant interactivity
- Tutorials
- Roundtables
- Workshops
- Hackathon
- Other formats (as long as it’s interactive!)
The length of sessions can be either 45 mins or 90 mins. Proposals for mini-symposia consisting of a series of presentations are not encouraged.
Proposals for interactive sessions should use the Interactive Session Proposal Template (max 2 pages) and be emailed to cic@uts.edu.au with the subject “ALASI22 Submission”.
Show and Tell Session
In the Show and Tell session, practitioners/researchers/HDR students will have an opportunity to present their work, or demonstrate a tool or approach. Each presenter will be given a space (i.e. station) in a large room/area to present their work, and groups of ALASI attendees will circulate around every 15 mins to engage with the presenters and their work at each station. Presentations may take the form of a digital poster, short series of slides, or a demonstration. HDR students are encouraged to present their work in progress.
Proposals to present as part of the demonstration session should use the Show and tell proposal template (max 2 pages) and be emailed to cic@uts.edu.au with the subject “ALASI22 Submission”.
