Talk given by Rebecca Ferguson at ‘Responsible Learning Analytics: Creating Just, Ethical, and Caring LA Systems’ workshop at Learning Analytics and Knowledge 2021 (LAK21) conference, held online, 12 April 2021.
When designing Learning Analytics tools, we need to hear from the people who will use them. Co-Design is a way to make educator and learner voices heard.
Learning Analytics (LA) is a new promising field that is attracting the attention of education providers, including teachers, learning designers and academic directors. Researchers and practitioners are interested in learning analytics as it can provide insights from student data, for example, students’ learning processes, automatically identifying learners in need and visualising learners’ behaviour.
