Connecting the dots between LA infrastructure, ethics and lifelong learning

Posted on by CIC Editor
How will we personalise learning over a lifetime? Can LA play a role in modelling the evolution of a student’s knowledge, skills and dispositions as they move from school, to higher education, the workforce, and perhaps back for further study? We could only do so if we are able to somehow share data across a wide range of LA systems, so moving beyond the “learning system wall” identified by Ryan Baker in his keynote address this year to the International Learning Analytics Conference. UTS:CIC is...

CIC leads on Human-Centred Learning Analytics

Posted on by CIC Editor
Simon Buckingham Shum and Roberto Martinez-Maldonado from CIC, with long-standing colleague Rebecca Ferguson (UK Open University), have just edited Human-Centred Learning Analytics as a special issue of the Journal of Learning Analytics. For the first time, this brings together exemplars of how the rich expertise that now exists in human-centred design communities can be brought to bear in learning analytics, so that diverse stakeholders can be given a voice to shape the design of the tools they...

Bon Voyage Zhenzhen!

Posted on by CIC Editor
Last year CIC had the pleasure of welcoming on board not one but two visiting PhD students from China. We said goodbye to Xizhe earlier in May then too soon after, Zhenzhen early June. Over six months, Zhenzhen made significant contributions in analysing textual features  of reflective writing, design feedback and created an online reflective writing tutorial. CIC would like to thank Zhenzhen for her hard work and hopes that she gained many positive learning experiences during her time here. ...

He played a major role in the development of an online writing tutorial and text annotation tool for machine learning. It has been a pleasure to have Xizhe join CIC over the past 6 months. It is always sad to say goodbye, but we are confident that he will go f...

Immediate, personalised feedback on reflective writing

Posted on by CIC Editor
The start of the new year is a good moment to distill the key ingredients of the 2 year collaboration around writing analytics (automated feedback to students on their reflective writing), that CIC has built with UTS academic Cherie Lucas from our School of Pharmacy. As with other collaborations (such as with Pip Ryan on her students' legal writing), it exemplifies the co-design process that we initiate with academics, in which we iteratively seek to design an automated feedback tool that st...

Latest advances in personalised feedback to nursing teams

Posted on by CIC Editor
In an exciting new paper from the Health Simulation Analytics project, we document our approach to give meaning to multimodal group activity data, in order to give personalised feedback to teams as quickly as possible. Inspired by the metaphor of social translucence, we are proposing a vision to make evidence of collaboration translucent. In doing so, we emphasise that besides the obvious social dimension, collaboration also involves epistemic (the task at hand), physical (the use of tools, dev...
