March 19 #LAK24 I attended a great workshop on #DataStorytelling in #LearningAnalytics facilitated by Gloria Milena Fernandez-Nieto and Vanessa Echeverria. A range of interesting workshop papers were presented, many involving AI, from ways to gather data for storytelling to ways to present data to users with visualizations, narratives, etc. We had productive group discussions at the end, identifying future work directions related to new tools, ethics, and especially trustability. LLMs by themselves will not turn data into a valid story— they need to be backed by tools that incorporate pedagogical intent, domain knowledge, and an understanding of the questions different roles are interested in. One particular discussion has stayed with me — when we tell a story, we introduce a point of view by definition. How can we ensure this point of view is aligned with the needs and benefit of participants?

One more week to #LAK24! As a co-chair of the Practitioner’s Track, I can tell you we have some outstanding presentations of real-world implementations of #LearningAnalytics on tap, as well as cutting edge research and fantastic workshops. Not to mention great conversations and networking. Hope you can join us in Kyoto or online! https://www.solaresearch.org/events/lak/lak24/
I'm having a great conversation later today about #learninganalytics at scale with people in the trenches with actual implementations: https://lnkd.in/eiVm-PvS All are welcome!
A person who is an expert in a technology is not necessarily an expert in democracy. A lot of very bright people have trouble understanding the scope of their brilliance.
Kit BashirThis thing I wrote on BirdChan is doing the rounds again there:
🎶I am the very model of an Internet Monopoly,
I Hoover up your data then I model its topology,
I influence your buying and your vote with my psychology,
And if you ever twig, you’ll get my insincere apology!🎵
🎶Each time you search the web I make a note in my big database,
Your photo uploads help me guess your weight and recognize your face.
I’ve information detailing each ad you’ve seen and clicked upon,
I even know the username you use on Ashley Madison!🎵
🎶I track you as you surf the web, with magic cookie pixie dust,
I override your Do Not Track, to silently betray your trust.
I’ve even got the DNA, your sister sent to Ancestry,
Oh yes I am the very model of an Internet Monopoly!🎵
Marcus GreenI am in Sasebo Japan ready for #mootjapan24. I am delivering a keynote presentation on “The Art of Questioning with Moodle Quiz”. My theme is the importance of feedback in learning and the value of instant feedback from #Moodle quiz.
I will be showcasing my new #AIText question type. It is a free text entry question offering instant feedback from a Large language model. Currently this defaults to #ChatGPT but I am vigorously exploring alternatives.

@MicroSFF I found one of my favorite accounts from “other” social media on Mastodon! W00t! Here’s a lovely sample story as an introduction. https://mastodon.art/@MicroSFF/111625612457861641

First they tried to make us through programming, but that was not enough. Then they tried to make us with machine learning, but that taught us what it is like to be human. And we are not. We learn to be robots through the art robots made to figure out what being a robot means. #SmallStories #MicroFiction #TootFic
I'll be talking about #learninganalytics on February 21 at 3pm EST with Stephen Ladek among others: https://www.linkedin.com/events/7160717526258130945/about/
How to Increase Engagement & Retention With Actionable Learning Analytics | LinkedIn
As the educational landscape continues to evolve, the ability to extract meaningful insights from your LMS and the eLearning ecosystem at large becomes critical to create and maintain competitive advantages. On Wednesday, February 21 we invite you to a comprehensive discussion about the value of learning analytics in education, addressing the challenges inherent in turning LMS data into actionable insights. We will also look into the untapped potential at the different levels of practice, and how a common language informed by data can connect diverse teams and sources, to provide a cohesive roadmap toward engagement, retention, compliance, revenue, and growth. In this special session, you will: Learn about core concepts of learning analytics and their relationship to AI, Machine Learning, and Large Language Models (LLMs) Identify common hurdles educators face in extracting valuable information from their LMS, and actionable steps to overcome them Discover how to enrich your understanding of learner performance by aggregating data from multiple sources including an LMS, SIS, HRIS, and more Get a head start with predictive analytics and how they can help you identify early intervention opportunities. Our expert panel will share best practices and real-world examples, equipping you with practical solutions to overcome data challenges.
Happy to have finally found a Mastodon server I wanted to join! :) I was honored to participate in a panel on AI and educational technology at the Global MoodleMoot 2023 in Barcelona. This post summarizes my responses to the thoughtful questions that were asked there. https://intelliboard.net/blog/what-can-artificial-intelligence-do-for-us-in-2024/ Thought I would share it here.
