“All-embracing technique is in fact the consciousness of the mechanized world. Technique integrates everything. It avoids shock and sensational events”
Ellul, 1964

Will LA lock-down or open up education?

Research-practice gap
![Page 8: LAK12: Keynote](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55492fd1b4c9059f4c8c125e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Inter-disciplinary emphasis
Technical, pedagogical, and social domains must be brought into dialogue with each other to ensure that interventions and organizational systems serve the needs of all stakeholders.

Holistic and Integrated Research/ Practice Relationships
The U.S. Department of Education has stated that the “next 5 years will bring an increase in models for collaboration between learning system designers, researchers, and educators”

To advance as a field, LA researchers and practitioners need to address the following:
(a) development of new tools, techniques, and people; (b) data: openness, ethics, and scope; (c) target of analytics activity; and (d) connections to related fields and practitioners.
![Page 12: LAK12: Keynote](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55492fd1b4c9059f4c8c125e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
(a) development of new tools, techniques, and people; (b) data: openness, ethics, and scope; (c) target of analytics activity; and (d) connections to related fields and practitioners.

Development of tools that are practitioner-focused, rather than researcher-focused
![Page 14: LAK12: Keynote](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55492fd1b4c9059f4c8c125e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Techniques:Discourse analysis, early warning systems, attention metadata, recommender systems, tutoring and learner models, network analysis, participatory learning and reputation mechanisms, NLP, latent semantic analysis, information flow, sentiment analysis, concept development, automated evaluation, real-time, etc

Many analytics techniques are important – a reflection of LA’s youth
![Page 16: LAK12: Keynote](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55492fd1b4c9059f4c8c125e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Capacity building: people
Certificates, research/doctoral seminars, ongoing PD
On: tools, techniques, research models/methods

The growing prominence of protected IP can (will) hinder iterative and rapid development of LA techniques
![Page 19: LAK12: Keynote](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55492fd1b4c9059f4c8c125e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Innovation in LA most significant in the vendor space.
Many vendor-driven innovations are closed and do not meet the basic needs of researchers: open, testable, accessible, and improvable algorithms and tools

Openness
Datasets for researchers & studentsTransparency (algorithms, weighting)Data ownership & access to analytics resultsCultural/contextual: ability to customize

Scope of data capture:
moving beyond the LMS and digital-only view of analytics
