Abstract
Designing for effective and efficient pedagogical interventions and orchestration in complex Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) ecosystems is an increasingly challenging issue. In spite of the significant potential of LA research, it is still unclear how can LA be designed to position teachers as designers of effective interventions and orchestration actions.
This talk aims at discussing some important dilemmas regarding the design and eventual enactment of Learning Analytics (LA) solutions. The first one deals with the teachers’ (and students’ agency) in the process of designing LA tools to properly solve relevant problems. The objective is to find an effective and efficient balance versus LA solutions formulated only be researchers and developers. The second main challenge deals with the balance between Human vs Artificial Intelligence agents during the learning process, and how these technology-enhanced processes may be transparent, responsible, ethical, aiming at the same time to maximize learning.
This talk argues for Human-Centered Design (HCD) and orchestration of actionable learning analytics. It provides a review of needs and existing approaches for HCD in LA, and it proposes three HCD principles for LA solutions, i.e., agentic positioning of teachers and other stakeholders; integration of the learning design cycle and the LA design process; and reliance on educational theories to guide the LA solution design and implementation. The HCD principles are illustrated and discussed through case studies in authentic learning contexts. Finally, some directions for future research and development are formulated to overcome the main obstacles for adoption of HCD for LA.
