Improving the quality and sustainability of learning using early intervention methods based on learning analytics

Objectives: What do you want to achieve by implementing the project?

ISILA aims to achieve the following:

• Develop intervention methods guidelines based on learning analytics (LA) of student learning data
• Identify metrics for tracking student engagement, to increase student learning effectiveness
• Design and develop an online platform for collecting, processing, and visualizing multimodal data
• Conduct evaluation case studies for the proposed methods and tools
• Identify learning patterns for continuous improvement of an LA-based intervention method

Implementation: What activities are you going to implement?

ISILA’s project objectives will be achieved through the following:

• Continuous project management
• Preparation of data infrastructure, which includes the design and development of an online platform with dashboards for collecting, processing, storing and visualizing multimodal data
• Preparation of legal and ethical guidelines for usage of learner data
• Development of intervention methods based on learning analytics
• Conducting piloting of developed methods and tools
• Dissemination of project results.

Results: What project results and other outcomes do you expect your project to have?

Expected results are:

• Developed an online platform for collecting, processing and storing of learner data from heterogeneous sources
• Developed multimodal data dashboard for learner data visualization
• Developed guidelines for intervention methods based on learning analytics (LA)
• Defined ethical requirements for the collection and usage of learner data
• Raised awareness among target stakeholders that LA can be used as a powerful tool to track student engagement
