Today we hosted the DTIC Invited Research Seminar:
Design for effective orchestration and pedagogical interventions aligned with learning analytics in technology-enhanced learning ecosystems: Notes of a sabbatical year
By Yannis Dimitriadis
Abstract
Technology-enhanced learning ecosystems are becoming quite complex, especially when non-conventional approaches, such as collaborative or inquiry learning are employed. On the other hand, the recent advances in the learning analytics field have been very promising, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs. However, the alignment between design for learning and learning analytics has been recently shown to be a pending, albeit essential, issue that would allow for effective and efficient pedagogical interventions and orchestration. This informal seminar – colloquium will discuss some recent work during and after the sabbatical year of Prof. Dimitriadis (2017-2018) at University of Edinburgh, EPFL Lausanne and UC Berkeley. Some topics include:
- Design for orchestration and analytics (theoretical frameworks and principles)
- Examples of on-going work, as e.g. inquiry science learning using WISE units in K-12, coaching in Agile Software Engineering course in Higher Education
- Reflections on research mobility and its effects on personal and community trajectories
Biography
