DESCRIPTION:Xavier Ochoa currently is a Principal Professor at the Faculty
  of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Escuela Superior Politécnica d
 el Litoral (ESPOL) in Guayaquil\, Ecuador. He coordinates the research gro
 up on Teaching and Learning Technologies (TEA) at the Information Technolo
 gy Center (CTI) at ESPOL. He currently serves in the Executive Committee o
 f the Society for the Research in Learning Analytics (SoLAR)\, the Latin A
 merican Community on Learning Objects and Technologies (LACLO) and the Lat
 in American Open Textbook Initiative (LATIn).  He coordinates several reg
 ional and international projects in the field of Learning Technologies. Hi
 s main research interests revolve around Learning Analytics\, Multimodal L
 earning Analytics and Data Science.\nLearning Analytics is the measurement
  and analysis of the learning process in order to provide feedback to inst
 ructors and learners to improve it.  This definition is generally instant
 iated as systems that provide recommendations and predictions based on the
  data automatically generated when students work and collaborate inside on
 line systems such as Learning Management Systems (LMS) or Massive Open Onl
 ine Courses (MOOC).  However\, most learning still occurs outside online 
 tools: in classrooms\, labs\, study rooms and at home\, where data is not 
 automatically captured or stored.  This has lead to a streetlight effect\
 , where learning is analysed only where it is easy to analyse\, not where 
 it is really happening.   This talk will introduce the topic of Multimod
 al Learning Analytics\, an effort to use all available sources of informat
 ion (gestures\, speech\, movement\, writing\, online logs\, etc.) to under
 stand the learning process not only online\, but in the real-life settings
 . During the talk\, examples of Multimodal systems will be presented and s
 everal current research issues in the field will be explored: data streams
  integration\, real-time feedback\, distributed vs. centralised capture an
 d ethical concerns.
