Let’s Talk LA – 2020

Discussing Challenges for Institutional Adoption of Learning Analytics LA

Workshop at the 10th International Analytics & Knowledge Conference

Location: IG Farben Building, University Frankfurt.
Date: March 24, 2020

Workshop Theme

Regardless the proliferation of Learning Analytics (LA) initiatives over the past years, their adoption in Higher Education institutions remains immature. In this interactive workshop, we invite researchers, practitioners and policy makers to discuss the main challenges for the adoption of LA at institutional level. Using a set of instruments developed as part of the European Erasmus + Project LALA, participants will engage with the current state of LA in different Higher Education institutions, the main challenges they are facing, and key actions taken or to be taken to address these challenges. The inputs from the participants will be turned into a manifesto for the institutional adoption of LA in higher education.
