Presentation
Last editions of the learning analytics track, one of the conclusions of the track was that variety (of topics, techniques, data sources, contexts, users) was necessary for the field to expand and advance, at the peril of a fragmentation that now seems inevitable.
The fragmented landscape of learning analytics has its own perks, though. Nearly eight years after the first Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference, we have now a clearer view of all the different aspects, technologies, algorithms and scope of application of learning analytics. In a sense, we are now witnessing the end of the beginning of learning analytics.
This eight edition of the track aims to embrace variety and invites researchers across the world to original submissions that evaluate the role of learning analytics from educational, social and technical perspectives, with a critical view. As in previous years, we look forward to receiving valuable contributions that reconcile educational and technical approaches, but we welcome both quantitative and qualitative work that reflect a broad range of applications of learning analytics across different instructional contexts.
Submissions should present advances in theory and/or apply novel techniques for data collection, processing and visualization in learning analytics. Submissions covering ethical aspects and policy-making in learning analytics are also welcome. All submissions will be subject to peer-review.

Track Instructions and Program (Friday 29th, F2F-Hybrid, 9.00-10.30, local time, SALA DE GRAUS, floor 1)
As the beginning of the TEEM 2021 Conference is approaching, please bear in mind some aspects about the presentation format of “Track 13. Learning Analytics: Moving on?”, in which you will be participating and which may differ from previous conferences you may have attended:
- English will be the language used in this session.
- The session will be held as a panel consisting of several presenters, and moderated by the co-chairs.
- Authors will briefly present an overview of their submission, with a maximum time allowance of FIVE MINUTES (no exceptions made).
- The presentation shall not be a summary of the submission but rather a general presentation of the context of your research that will open themes for discussion.
- Following the presentations, the moderators will start a debate with all the authors, addressing the main contributions of each paper and focusing on common and divergent points.
- The debate will have a duration of between forty-five and sixty minutes, and may include active participation from the audience in an open round of questions.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Barcelona. Please we need to know if any of you is going to participate online.
The order of the presentations will be:
- ID 69: Learning Analytics Icons for analytics’ transparency, information, and easy comprehension of data treatment of students
- ID 78: Prediction systems for education
- ID 134: A model to characterize exercises using probabilistic methods
- ID 119: Data analytics to predict dropout in a MOOC course on energy sustainability
