As the adoption of digital learning materials in modern education systems is increasing, the analysis of reading behavior and their effect on student performance gains attention. The main motivation of this workshop is to foster research into the analysis of students’ interaction with digital textbooks, and find new ways in which it can be used to inform and provide meaningful feedback to stakeholders, such as: teachers, students and researchers. In this workshop, participants will be offered a chance to analyze the event logs from three different universities datasets with information on over 1000 students reading behaviors. Additional information on lecture schedules will also enable the analysis of learning context for further insights into the preview, in-class, and review reading strategies that learners employ.
We welcome submissions on some of the following topics(though not restrictive):
- Student performance/at-risk prediction
- Student reading behavior self-regulation profiles spanning the entire course
- Preview, in-class, and review reading patterns
- Student engagement analysis; and behavior change detection
- Visualization methods to inform and provide meaningful feedback to stakeholders
Participants will also be encouraged to contribute their programs/source code created in the workshop to an ongoing open learning analytics tool development project for inclusion as an analysis feature.
