Teaching Analytics: Concepts, Methods, and Tools
Abstract:
Teaching Analytics is conceived as a subfield of learning analytics that focuses on the design, development, evaluation, and education of visual analytics methods and tools for teachers in primary, secondary, and tertiary educational settings. Teaching analytics aims to develop innovative solutions to assist and augment teachers dynamic diagnostic decision-making in the classrooms of the 21st century. An example usage scenario (but not limited to) is the use of teaching analytics methods and tools in high-performance classrooms that are characterized by 1:1 computing, high cognitive density, and big data. Drawing from the two international workshops (TapTA 2012 & IWTA 2013) and the NEXT-TELL EU project, this talk will identify challenges and opportunities, highlight emerging concepts, methods and tools, and outline directions for future work.
