Multimodality is the main focus
The trending topic of #LAK17 is undoubtedly multimodality. Two keynotes out of three Sanna Jarvela and Sydney D'Mello focus on multimodal data for learning. The topic is also reflected in many studies presented during the parallel presentations.
Visual Learning Pulse - Master Thesis
Project title
Visual Learning Pulse: Flow Prediction and Feedback in Self-regulated Learning
Abstract
Visual Learning Pulse is a Master thesis research project developed in cooperation with the Welten
Institute, the Research Centre for Learning, Teaching and Technology at the Open University of the Netherlands, and partially financed by the European project Learning Analytics Community Exchange (LACE). Visual Learning Pulse explores whether physiological and physical data such as heart rate, step count and weather data if correlated with learning activity data can be used to predict learning success in self-regulated learning settings.
