Learning Analytics What Data Could Tell If We Were Willing to Share Information. Exploring Benefits and Barriers to the Use of Analytics in Schools and Universities.
- Tore Hoel, Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences, Norway, Sally Reynolds, Audiovisual Technologies Informatics & Telecom. – ATiT, Belgium, David Griffiths, University of Bolton, United Kingdom
New learning technologies using learning analytics have a great potential to optimise educational planning, personalise the learning experiences, and enhance teaching. Learning analytics (LA) is not possible without access to data, emanating from the different activities of the learners and their support. The large-scale production, collection, aggregation, and processing of information from various learning platforms and online environments have led to ethical and privacy concerns regarding potential harm to individuals and society.
This workshop will give an update on the development of LA applications in schools and higher education and explore the concerns about data sharing and privacy, control of data and trust. We aim to understand the issues with greater clarity, and to find ways of overcoming the issues and research challenges related to ethical and privacy aspects of learning analytics practice. The workshop is highly interactive and will through a simple, but structured and well-tested process engage the participants in finding solutions that could be accepted in European schools and universities.

Toward a Low-cost Production of MOOCs
- Brian Mulligan, Institute of Technology Sligo, Ireland, Miquel Duran, Silvia Simon, University of Girona, Spain
Are MOOCs financially viable? How can MOOCs be developed where projected audiences are relatively low? Would this be less of an issue if MOOCs could be developed at lower cost? The aim of LoCoMoTion, an Erasmus+ funded project, to investigate and disseminate low-cost MOOC development techniques. This workshop will start that process. The highly experienced team, from five higher education institutions across Europe, will present on various techniques, both before and during the workshop, to a local and distributed audience. They will facilitate discussion before, during and after the event through electronic and face-to-face methods. Topics addressed will include Content Development and Sourcing, Hosting Platforms, Pedagogical Approaches, Communication and Support, Institutional Systems and Services, Assessment and Accreditation. The workshop will discuss the resources and services (including a MOOC on Low-cost Development of MOOCs) that will be provided by the locomotion project to assist both individuals and institutions develop such open courses without excessive expenditure.
