Beyond Learning Analytics: Framework for Technology-Enhanced Evidence-Based Education and Learning

Abstract

Currently eLearning infrastructure across various institutions often includes aLearning Management System (LMS), various ubiquitous and classroom learning tools, Learning Record Stores (LRS) and Learning Analytics Dashboards (LAD). Such aninfrastructure can apply Learning Analytics (LA) methods to process log data and supportvarious stakeholders. Teachers can refine their instructional practices, learners can enhancelearning experiences and researchers can study the dynamics of the teaching-learningprocess with it. While LA platforms gathers and analyses the data, there is a lack of specificdesign framework to capture the technology-enhanced teaching-learning practices. Thisposition paper focuses the research agenda on evidence in a data-driven educationalscenario. We propose the Learning Evidence Analytics Framework (LEAF) and present theresearch challenges involved.
