New challenges in education demand effective solutions. Although Learning Analytics (LA), Educational Data Mining (EDM) and the use of Big Data are often presented as a panacea, there is a lot of ground to be covered in order for the EDM to answer the real questions of educators. An important step toward this goal is to implement holistic…

Purpose: This study leverages social network analysis (SNA) to visualise the way students interacted with online resources and uses the data obtained from SNA as features for supervised machine learning algorithms to predict whether a student will successfully complete a course. Design/methodology/approach: The exploration and visualisation of the…

Developing tools to support students, educators, intuitions, and government in the educational environment has become an important task to improve the quality of education and learning outcomes. Information and communication technology (ICT) is adopted by educational institutions; one such instance is video interaction in flipped teaching.…

Online learning has become more popular in higher education since it adds convenience and flexibility to students' schedule. But, it has faced difficulties in the retention of the continuity of students and ensure continual growth in course. Dropout is a concerning factor in online course continuity. Therefore, it has sparked great interest among…

Due to the pandemic, many students have been forced to study remotely. This study aims to investigate the impact of online collaboration scripts on learning outcomes in virtual reality (VR) co-creation learning activities during distance learning. The collaboration scripts were designed to foster students' remote teamwork. The participants…

"Blackboard" is an important Learning Management System (LMS) employed at most higher education institutions to engage and interact with students during their studies. Students within Material Science and Engineering (MSE) often use these LMS's to absorb mathematical derivations, scientific information and submit coursework tasks. In…

In this study, students' interactions with different learning activities are examined and the relation among learning performance with different interaction patterns, learning performance, self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies and motivation is presented. Learning materials including different kinds of activities are prepared and presented to…

Extensive studies have been conducted to diagnose and predict students' academic performance by analyzing a large amount of data related to their learning behaviors in a blended learning environment. But there is a lack of research examining how individualized learning interventions could improve students' academic performance in such a learning…

This study combined the methods from student approaches to learning and learning analytics research by using both self-reported and observational measures to examine the student learning experience. It investigated the extent to which reported approaches and perceptions and observed online interactions are related to each other and how they…

The proceedings of the 18th edition of Latin American Conference on Learning Technologies (LACLO) demonstrates the developments in the research of learning science, learning resources, challenges and solutions. This Proceedings book showcases a collection of quality articles that explores and discusses trending topics in education in the upcoming…

The aim of this study is to identify online learning behavior that is excessively intense as reflected in a student's overly frequent interaction with the instructor through various communication channels. Then, this study aims to use learning analytics methodologies to discover whether a student with the identified behavior also displays the same…
