Opportunities and interest from educational researchers to make use of learning design and analytics are growing fast, whether to inform students to improve their success, or to inform teachers on the impact of learning design decisions. The learning design and learning analytics developments are now strongly relying on the increasing role of data collection and sensemaking.
The expected focus activity will be especially set on:
- collection, interpretation and learning data from various sources : learning platforms, experiential environments, including data that can reflect affective and emotional states of learners, as well as fatigue and stress.
- hybrid extracted data and knowledge models – possibly based upon domain ontologies and symbolic AI models – to define and develop decision aids for any stakeholder (learner, teacher, training manager…)
- develop complementary expertise in explanation-based approaches relying on multiple models of domain, learner and educational process.
The research will be relying on (and fed from) real situations and educational frameworks, as well as data issued from the Learning Analytics and Digital Education global initiative that has been launched at the level of IMT group. The candidate is expected to participate and take leadership in the domain at national and international level.
