Kaufman, David; Kumar, Swapna – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2018
The iPad, which came out in 2010, was introduced in one-to-one initiatives in schools to replace the laptop, or simply as a new technology. Schools that incorporated tablets reported an increase in student-led learning, increased collaboration, and increased communication. Following a one-to-one iPad implementation at an urban high school for one…

Tempelaar, Dirk T.; Rienties, Bart; Nguyen, Quan – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2017
Studies in the field of learning analytics (LA) have shown students' demographics and learning management system (LMS) data to be effective identifiers of "at risk" performance. However, insights generated by these predictive models may not be suitable for pedagogically informed interventions due to the inability to explain why students…
