Analytics for Collaboration and Creative Intelligence

Posted on May 5, 2016 by CIC Editor

CIC has recently launched a new strand which focuses on making visible how people work in teams, both face-to-face and online. This is led by Educational Data Scientist Roberto Martinez-Maldonado, who joined us in September 2015. He brings expertise in the use of technologies that can detect what is happening in face-to-face meetings, such as Kinect sensors to differentiate learner’s actions, microphone arrays to capture who is speaking when, and multitouch surfaces. Roberto and the CIC team ...

Multimodal Sequence Mining & Analytics

Learning to collaborate is important. But how does one learn to collaborate face-to-face? What are the actions and strategies to follow for a group of students who start a task? We are interested in analysing aspects of students’ activity when working in digital ecologies enriched with sensors for identifying users, and also at multi-display settings. This project is seeking out to automatically distinguish, discover and distil salient common patterns of interaction within groups, by mining t...
