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. Building on previous years workshops at LAK19/LAK20 which focused on reading behavior in higher education, this year we will offer participants a new challenge that focuses on secondary school reading behavior using a synthetic dataset trained from actual data. Participant contributions will be collected as evidence in a repository provided by the workshop and will be shared with the wider research community to promote the development of research into reading analysis systems.
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.
