The 20th International Symposium on Computers in Education (SIIE) provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest research developments on technologies for learning and their practical application in educational processes. It also aims to bring researchers, developers, institutional representatives and teachers together to share views, knowledge and experiences.

The 20th edition of this Symposium focuses on technologies for learning analytics. The application of institutional intelligence processes and the exploitation of academic data presents great opportunities to improve both teaching/learning processes and the management of academic institutions. To take advantage of this potential requires the definition, development and evaluation of technological constructs that allow the capture, processing and visualization of data for timely decision making.
