This workshop brings together scholars and practitioners to explore interesting examples of effective feedback and explore what and how data can be used to improve the process and richness of feedback for both learners and educators. The workshop has three primary goals:
- Provide a multidisciplinary theoretical foundation for practitioners and researchers in LA for the effective provision of data-informed feedback practices in HE;
- Showcase extant or planned approaches that provide feedback to students and consider students’ reception of the feedback, with a focus on approaches that are data-driven and personalised;
- Promote reflection on both pedagogical and technological approaches to improve feedback practices targeted at the improvement of student learning and their ability to self-regulate learning.
Those who wish to understand and apply principles of feedback of and for learning. Given the explicit multidisciplinary nature of the workshop we expect that it will provide an opportunity to discuss and share innovations, impact on learning, and explore future directions in the application of learning analytics (LA) to personalisation of feedback. Likely interested participants are:
- Educators/teachers and researchers
- Technologists and educational developers
- Learning scientists and data scientists/analysts
- Academic managers
- and anyone else interested in personalisation of learning and teaching
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The organisers welcome three types of contributions:
1. Brief contributions to showcase work in progress, tools or successful approaches:
- extended abstract (1-2 pages)
2. Paper contributions (max 6 pages, using the Companion Proceedings format, see below):
- short paper (1-4 pages) to showcase work in progress for successful approaches for the provision of feedback at scale, focusing on students’ reception of this feedback
- short issue papers (5-8 pages) provoking the audience to think about key issues and problems related to scaling feedback and the use of analytics to support the process

Some ideas of possible topics in each submission include, but are not limited to:
- Overview of tool(s)/approach(es) to personalise feedback
- Implementation process (e.g. infrastructural, staff capacity, etc.)
- Challenges and successes (as well as failures)
- Stakeholder engagement, buy-in, and impact (especially faculty, students)
