The e-Design Assessment Tool (eDAT) is a tool to help tutors represent and evaluate effective blended or distance learning designs. The eDAT combines a simple analysis of the learning activities with reflections on the teaching and learning perspective that underpins the design.

Presentation used by Tinne De Laet, KU Leuven, for a keynote presentation during an event: organised by Leiden University, Erasmus University Rotterdam, and Delft University of Technology.
The presentations presents the results of two case studies from the Erasmus+ project ABLE and STELA, and provides 9 recommendations regarding learning analytics
Most institutions say they value teaching. But how they assess it tells a different story. University of Southern California has stopped using student evaluations of teaching in promotion decisions in favor of peer-review model. Oregon seeks to end quantitative evaluations of teaching for holistic model.
Selten war ein Gesetz so dysfunktional wie das Leistungsschutzrecht für Presseverleger. Die Bundesregierung weigert sich, das einzugestehen - weil sie es in der ganzen EU einführen will.
Recommender systems provide users with content they might be interested in. Conventionally, recommender systems are evaluated mostly by using prediction accuracy metrics only. But, the ultimate goal of a recommender system is to increase user satisfaction.
Now that the “the only constant is change” in society, our capacity to engage with novel challenges is of first order importance. What are the personal dispositions that authentic learning needs to cultivate, and can we make these assessable and visible to learners and educators?
An interesting question arose at a recent xAPI Camp hosted by The eLearning Guild: “What happened to objectives in xAPI?” We should be able to use xAPI to document successful completion of eLearning, but without statements of learning objectives in the content, this is not possible.
I'll start this article by making one simple statement: Feedback loops work. Why? That’s the way we human beings learn, as feedback provides us with a sense of where we stand and an evaluation of our progress.
As Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) generate a huge amount of learning activity data through its thousands of users, great potential is provided to use this data to understand and optimize the learning experience and outcome.
For about 10 years, from 2005 – 2015, much of the discussion about tracking eLearning revolved around the Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) and learning management systems (LMS).
Game Learning Analytics (GLA) is the process of applying Learning Analytics techniques to Serious Games in order to get insight about how the game is being used and improve the educational experience.
It never bodes well to dive into the unknown without preparation. To define, design and enable learning analytics, it’s essential to have a clear strategy in place. Prep yourself with these evaluation questions before you dive into learning analytics.
Jisc has been supporting seven research projects in learning analytics at UK universities over the past year. These have been in the areas of curriculum analytics, mental health and wellbeing and the evaluation of institutional learning analytics projects.Join us to hear the projects present their interesting findings.
There’s no question that the shift to remote and flexible learning has highlighted the importance of technology in education, but at the same time, this shift has also complicated some key aspects of a teacher’s job.
The Experience API (xAPI for short) is far more than just an update to SCORM, the popular standard for tracking data from a learning management system. xAPI opens up a whole new world of possibilities for learning analytics. Examples of what real organizations are doing with it in real-life situations make it easier to grasp the scale of this advance and apply the learnings to your own situation.
According to The Kirkpatrick Model, Level 3: Behavior is the degree to which participants apply what they learned during training when they are back on the job. The prevailing belief that a Level 3 plan for post-training support and accountability is difficult, expensive and out of training’s purview is untrue. Here are the deceptively simple steps to create learning experiences with true value.

Artificial intelligence in higher education isn't without its risks. Here are three possible trouble spots for the use of AI. Elana Zeide is Associate Professor of Law at the University of Nebraska.
In dieser Fortsetzungsfolge zum Thema Learning Analytics erläutern Marius Wehner und Lynn Schmodde von der Wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf das Verbundprojekt Fair Enough. Zur Fairness von Learning Analytics-Systemen legen sie empirische Evaluationsergebnisse verschiedener Stakeholder-Gruppen dar und geben einen Ausblick auf zukünftige Entwicklungen. Interviewer in Folge 12 des DINItus Podcasts ist Erik Reidt vom ZIM/Multimediazentrum der HHU Düsseldorf.
Sunday Blake dives into the latest in learning analytics and engagement data, and asks how universities can act upon it to make our interactions with students more human.
The Experience API (xAPI) allows us to collect data about any type of learning experience or activity, but does that mean we should? Should we generate massive amounts of xAPI data for every possible type of interaction and then expect to make sense of it all later? This approach can be costly in terms of data storage, but also in terms of your time.
This is a sequel test after the chemical analysis and microbiological procedures have been conducted. The study determined the level of acceptability of the by-product of Talisay (Terminalia catappa) nuts specifically; Talisay Nuts Polvoron, Glazed Talisay Nuts, and Sugar-coated Talisay Nuts using sensory evaluation as to appearance, taste, aroma, sweetness, and texture. The responses of the food inclined participants are described yielding from the Hedonic Tests conducted and statistically treated. Results concluded that the developed products are remarkably acceptable and marketable.

We introduce Vicuna-13B, an open-source chatbot trained by fine-tuning LLaMA on user-shared conversations collected from ShareGPT. Preliminary evaluation using GPT-4 as a judge shows Vicuna-13B achieves more than 90%* quality of OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Bard while outperforming other models like LLaMA and Stanford Alpaca in more than 90%* of cases. The cost of training Vicuna-13B is around $300. The code and weights, along with an online demo, are publicly available for non-commercial use.
