Hernández-Leo, D., ChatGPT and Generative AI in Higher Education: user-centered perspectives and implications for learning analytics, LASI Spain, Madrid, 29-30 June 2023.

Abstract. The increasing availability of easy-to-access generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, like ChatGPT, calls for a need in education to devise new learning scenarios in view of their potential and challenges. Learning Analytics (LA) can play an important role in the understanding and optimization of responsible and reflective uses of AI tools in education. This paper contributes to the exploration of this role, adopting a human-centered perspective. The paper studies the perspectives of professors and students participating in a 'generative AI for learning' training at a public university in Spain. Considering these perspectives, the paper discusses new requirements for learning analytics in these new learning scenarios using AI. The perspectives highlight the potential of these tools as learning assistants, enabling improved use of study time, stimulating creativity, and facilitating personalized feedback. Stakeholders also points out several ethical concerns and risks that may hinder learning. These preliminary results emphasize the need for LA to differentiate between AI-assisted and AI-complement actions and human intelligence at work, aligned with pedagogical intentions. The paper formulates high-level constructs for learning analytics differentiating those actions, illustrated with examples. The paper also discusses that ethical concerns, like student inequality in accessing advanced tools, should be factored into analytics and decision-making tools.
