ContributiontotheLACEEvidenceHubDuringthereportingperiod,theWP5leaderhasincreasedtheamountofevidenceaboutworkplacelearningavailableintheEvidenceHub,throughtwodifferentstrategies.

Academicpublicationsas“Evidences”ThankstootherLACEpartners,aseriesofrecentacademicpublicationswerecollectedandsharedintheEvidenceHub.Currently,11piecesofevidencehavebeenidentifiedfortheworkplacelearningsector,togetherwithothertwocross-sectorevidences,relatedmainlytoinformallearningcapturingandanalyticsonworkers’simplifiednetworks.

SurveyonlearninganalyticsincurrentcommercialtoolsAsidentifiedbytheprojectreviewersintheirlastreport,thereisalackofevidenceconcerninglearninganalyticsappliedtoworkplacelearning.Thisismostlyduetothefactthatcorporateandindustrialstakeholdersarefarlessinterestedinexposingtheirachievementstothepublic.Oftenworkforceperformancedataarehighlyrestrictedandarenotcirculatedunlessstrictnon-disclosureagreementsareinplace.

Duetosuchconstraints,itwasdecidedtoincludecommercialITproductsandsolutionsforworkplacelearningas“projects”intheEvidenceHub.Todoso,takingintoaccountthedecisiontoaddcommercialITproductsasevidenceofhowlearninganalyticsandinteroperabilitystandardsareapplied,adedicatedquestionnairewasdevelopedandsharedwithsome20importantinternationallearningITsolutionvendorsduringthelastweeksof2015.ThisfirstgroupofvendorswasselectedamongWP5leadercontactsandcontacteddirectlybye-mail.Thiswayhasbeenchosenconsideringthatoftensoftwarevendorsarenotpronetoprovideinformationaboutsoftwaretoanyonewhoisnota(potential)customer,andthat“intimacy”betweenaLACEprojectmemberandthevendorcanincreasethepercentageofasuccessfulentryintheEvidenceHub.

Anyway,duringeventsattendedbyWP5,morepotentiallyinterestingcontactscanbegenerated,increasingthenumberofvendorstobecontactedbyLACEproject.

Thequestionnairehasthreemainsections:

● Descriptionoftheproduct,indicatingthesectortowhichthetoolisdedicated(school,HE,workplace),whatkindofproductitis(e.g.e-learningplatform,performancesupportsystem,SaaSplatform),theuseofinteroperabilitystandards(ifapplicable),howtheproductdealswithprivacyissues.Inthissection,therelevanceoflearninganalyticsand/oreducationaldatamininghadtobeclearlyexpressed.

● UniqueSellingPropositionsoftheproduct,presentedasbulletpoints.

ConsideringtheoverallWP5activitiesontheEvidenceHub,currently18entriesarepresent.TheWP5planistoraisethenumberofentriesatleastto25bytheendoftheproject,includingbothacademicpapersandcommercialproducts.

LACEreviewsandpublicationsDuringyear2,WP5membershavedevelopedtwowhitepapers,withtheaimofcollecting,summarisingandsharingthelatesttrendsinlearninganalyticsandinteroperabilitystandardsforworkplacelearning.

Thefirstone,named“TheLACELAWmanifesto-PromotingLearningAnalytics@theWorkplace”10,concernstheactionsthatEUandnationalpolicymakersshouldpromoteforthedevelopmentoflearninganalyticsasanimportantpartofworkplacelearning.Thisdocumentmakesuseofcontributionstothediscussionsatthe“PoliciesforEducationalDataMining&LearningAnalytics”workshop(Brussels,15thApril2015).Duringthereviewphases,themanifestowasstrengthenedbytheintegrationofsubsequentcommentsandsuggestionsfromtheworkshopparticipants,aswellaslearning,technologicalandsocialtrendsfromsectorstudies,marketanalysisandliterature.ThiswhitepaperwaspublishedasLACEReview4.

Thesecondmanifesto,named“TowardsLearningAnalyticsInteroperabilityattheWorkplace(LAWProfile)”11,concernsthedevelopmentandusageofinteroperabilitystandardsinworkplacelearning.Inparticular,thepaperintroducestheneedsandpossibleoptionsforinteroperatinglearninganalyticswithinindustrialandcorporatescenarios,directlyattheworkplace.Itfirstintroducesgeneralconceptsofstandardisationroadmaps,abstractreferenceframeworks,applicationprofilesandsoonaskeystepstowardsasharedapproachtointeroperability.Itthenproposesascenario-basedmethodtodrilldowntointeroperabilityneedsandoptionsforworkplacelearning.ThisdocumenthasbeenpublishedasLACEReview5,andhasbeenusedwithintheLACEprojectasoneoftheactionpointsfortheactivitiesofLACEWP7.

StateoftheartoflearninganalyticsattheworkplaceThissectiondescribesthestateoftheartofthediffusionoflearninganalyticsanditstopicsandinnovationsinworkplacelearning.

Unlikeschoolorhighereducationfields,inwhichalargequantityofacademicstudiesarepresent,dataandstudiesconcerningworkplacelearningarenotsocommonandeasytoobtain.Thisisprobablyduetotwomainfactors:

1. Companiesarenotsopronetosharedataofperformancesoftheirworkforcewiththeoutsideworld,inwhichcompetitorsarepresent.

2. Learninganalyticstoolsprovidersarenotsopronetoshareinadeepandusefulwayhowtheirproductsreallyworks.Thismeansthatitmaybedifficulttoextractreliableandusefulinformationonthesetools,eliminatingthe“marketing”layer.

Despitethelackofinformationanddataoncommercialproducts,severalacademicpaperscanbefound,relatedinparticulartoinformallearning(García-Peñalvoetal.2014,Lietal.2014,Ruiz-Callejaetal.2015),whichisanextremelyrelevantaspectofworkforcelearninganditiscurrentlydifficulttotrack,quantifyandevaluate.

StateoftheartofpolicyinEuroperegardinglearninganalyticsattheworkplaceConsideringthatlearninganalyticsisarelativelynewbranchofresearch,Europeaninstitutionshavestilltobeproactiveinthedefinitionofpoliciesforlearninganalyticsapplication.

Thisisparticularlytrueforworkplacelearning,inwhichthedevelopmentofinnovativelearninganalyticstoolsabletocatchmoreandmoreinformationonlearnersiscoupledwithastronginnovationoftheworkplaceitself.Thisisparticularlyevidentformanufacturing,wherenewtechnologiessuchasInternetofThings(Figure17),3Dprinting,advancedroboticsorInternetofServicesarerapidlyreshapingfactories,workplacesandtheskillsetrequiredtoemployees.Moreover,technologieslikeInternetofThingscanrepresentinnovativewaystoobtaininformationonthecorrectusageofinstruments,equipmentandsoftware,whichisstrictlyrelatedtothetrainingprovidedbythecompanyonproceduresandprocesses.

Summarising,eachstakeholdercancontributetodevelop,togetherwithEUinstitutions,equalandclearpoliciesforlearninganalyticsattheworkplace:

● Industryleaderscanpromotethedevelopmentofstandardisationofdigitalprocessesattheworkplace,forinstancethroughinteroperabilitystandards.Theycanalsointeractandcooperatewiththeinstitutionalandtheeducationalworldfortheidentificationofthe“skillsofthefuture”attherelatedKeyPerformanceIndicators(KPIs)tobemeasuredbylearninganalyticstools.

OpportunitiesandissuesDespitethelackofevidencesandsuccessfulimplementationsattheworkplace,thereisstillanenormouspotentialintheapplicationoflearninganalyticsattheworkplace.Inthissection,themainopportunitiesandissuesoftheapplicationoflearninganalyticsattheworkplacearepresented.

OpportunitiesTheapplicationoflearninganalyticsattheworkplacepresentsseveralopportunitiesthatcanimprovehowtrainingisprovidedandhowlearningismeasured.Ingeneral,asfortheothereducationalfields,learninganalyticsallowsmonitoringthelearningperformancesofeachtrainer,providinginformationonadditionallearningmaterialstobeprovidedtospecificemployees,aswellasontheoverallqualityoftrainingcoursesandmaterials.

Anothergreatopportunityoflearninganalyticsimplementationsattheworkplaceisrelatedtocapturingtheinformallearningofemployees.Indeed,attheworkplacethelargestpartofthelearningofanewworkerisrelatedtoinformallearning,byfirst-personexperienceortalkingandexchangingideaswithcolleagues.Thisessentialpartofworkers’learningiscurrentlynotmeasurablebythecompany,andtheintroductionofalearninganalyticstool,associatedforinstancetointernalsocialnetworks,cangivethecompanythepossibilitytohaveaclearerideaoftheknowledgeportfolioofitsworkforce.

Strictlyrelatedtotheprevioustopic,thereisalsothepossibilitytofindandevaluatethelevelsof21stcenturyandsoftskillsinsidetheworkforce.AccordingtoarecentstudyoftheUKCommissionforEmploymentandSkills18,thecompanyareasinwhichskillssupplyanddevelopmentwillbenecessaryare:technicallycompetentworkforceatoperativelevels,leadershipandmanagement,marketassessmentofseniormanagers,supplychainmanagement,R&Danddesign.Moreover,additionalsoftskillsarenowadaysrequiredinnext-genworkforce,suchascriticalandanalyticalthinking,problemsolving,digitaltechniques,communication,collaboration,flexibility,adaptability,riskanalysis,initiativeandself-direction.Consideringthatlargepartsofthesesoftskillsarecross-sector,andnotrelatedtospecificcompetenciesorworkexperiences,learninganalyticscanbeasolutionforthetrackingofpresenceandprogressesoftheseskillsinsidethecompanyworkforce.

Finally,thedevelopmentoflearninganalyticsattheworkplacewillleadtothedevelopmentofinteroperabilitystandards,whichcansignificantlyhelptovalidateinaharmonisedwaythedifferentaspects(forinstance,measuredondifferenttools)oflifelonglearningofemployees.

IssuesSomeoftheissuesconcerningtheapplicationoflearninganalyticsattheworkplacearenotsodifferentfromtheonesofhighereducationorschoolsectors.Thebiggestissueisrelatedtoworkers’privacyandmanagementofworkers’data,consideringthatanincorrectuseoflearninganalyticsdatafromthecompanycanleadtosevereconsequencesfortheworker’slifeattheworkplace.Apossiblesolutiontothisissuecanbethedevelopmentandapplicationoflearningdatamanagementpolicies,fosteredbythecompanytogetherwithsocialpartners.Moreover,itcanbeuseful,wherepossible,toaggregateandtoanonymisedataduringreportingactivities.

Asecondissue,alsodescribedbyGarcía-Peñalvoetal(2014)duringtheanalysisofinformallearningtrackingtools,isrelatedtothelackofinterestinusinglearningtoolsforinformallearningevaluation,suchascompanysocialnetworksforSocialNetworkAnalysis.Thisisprobablydue,accordingtoauthors,totheintroductionofanewtoolattheworkplace,differentfromtheonesusuallypresent.ThesuggestionofGarcía-Peñalvoetal.(2014)tosolvethisissueistointegrate“…[informallearningtracking]systemswiththeapplicationswhichalreadyformedpartoftheusersworkingenvironment”.Thisiswhyinrecentyearssomeofthemostinnovativelearningtoolsforcompaniesareelectronicperformancesupportsystems(EPSS),whichallowprovidinginformationandlearningmaterialstotheemployeesdirectlywhentheyneedthem.

Inparticular,WP5hasconcentrateditseffortson:

● Developingandstimulatingthecommunitiesofstakeholdersinterestedinworkplacelearning,throughparticipationinevents,socialnetworkingandblogpostsontheLACEwebsite.Moreover,amanifesto(LACEReview4)hasbeenpublishedbasedoncontributionsofparticipantsataLACE-organisedevent.

● Spreadingtopicsandideasoflearninganalyticsandeducationaldataminingtotheindustrialworld,byco-organisingdedicatedevents(SocialBusinessForum2015,sedAptaCustomers&PartnersMeeting2016),andpublishingtwowhitepapers(LACEReview4and5).

● ContributingtotheEvidenceHub,throughtheadditionofseveralpiecesofacademicevidenceandcommercialITtooldescriptionsas“projects”.
