Contextual Learning Analytics Apps to Create Awareness in Blended Inquiry Learning
Abstract
Blended inquiry learning relying on online labs
to enhance classroom activities is considered as a promising
approach to increase the skills and the interest of students in
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In such a
framework where students combine face-to-face interaction with
peers or teachers and online interaction with remote or virtual
labs, adequate guidance should be provided. Such a task is
facilitated if teachers are made aware of the progresses and
the difficulties of their students. Learning analytics based on
the analysis of the student online interaction traces and their
visualization is an adequate mean. A set of contextual learning
analytics apps which provide the teacher with learning-specific
information is introduced in this paper. A requirement analysis
gathered at a summer school with 32 teachers, the design and
implementation of three contextual learning analytics apps, the
main outcomes from a case study, as well as an outlook on future
research avenues are detailed.
