Website | http://pdlak.utscic.edu.au |
Abstract registration deadline | December 11, 2017 |
Submission deadline | January 2, 2018 |
This workshop focuses on Participatory Design (PD) for Learning Analytics. The main goals for this workshop are: i) introducing participants to core principles of co-design and PD that can be applied to LA contexts; ii) providing participants with the opportunity to sample some tools, techniques and methods; iii) helping participants in getting more comfortable with the challenges associated with such open-ended, participatory approaches, such that they feel comfortable with bringing them into their own LA projects; iv) fostering the development of a community of Participatory Design for LA practice. Participants attending this workshop will be able to take home some ideas and materials provided as a first step into implementing Participatory Design in their projects.
Submission Guidelines
Participants are encouraged to submit a paper describing their current work related to any of the three workshop themes. Submissions may describe authentic classroom examples, work in progress, or experimental approaches connected with Participatory Design for learning analytics. Authors of accepted papers will present their work as a poster during the poster/demo session.
Submissions should be sent by email to pdlak2018@gmail.com
