DESCRIPTION:By: Dragan Gasevic - Monash University\nIC Faculty candidate\n
 \nAbstract:\nThe analysis of data collected from user interactions with te
 chnology has attracted much attention as a promising approach to enhancing
  the human learning process. This growing interest led to the formation of
  the field of learning analytics. The field has now entered the next phase
  of maturation with a growing community who has an evident impact on resea
 rch\, practice\, policy\, and decision-making. This talk will first provid
 e a brief overview of recent developments in the field. The talk will then
  explore two key challenges for learning analytics that require immediate 
 attention: i) validity of data collection and analysis and ii) user int
 eraction with results of analytics to inform action. The talk will discus
 s promising directions for addressing the two challenges by considering le
 arning analytics as an interdisciplinary interplay between data science\, 
 theory of human learning\, and design. The challenges and directions will 
 be examined by building on the findings of many research studies.\n\nBio:\
 nDragan Gašević is Professor of Learning Analytics in the Faculty of Edu
 cation and Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Information Technology at M
 onash University. Previously\, he was a Professor and the Sir Tim O’Shea
  Chair in Learning Analytics and Informatics in the Moray House School of 
 Education and the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh (20
 15-2018). He served as the past president (2015-2017) of the Society for L
 earning Analytics Research (SoLAR) and has held several honorary appointme
 nts in Australia\, Canada\, Hong Kong\, and USA. A computer scientist by t
 raining and skills\, Dragan considers himself a learning analyst who devel
 ops computational methods that can shape next-generation learning technolo
 gies and advance our understanding of self-regulated and social learning. 
 Dragan had the pleasure to serve as a founding program co-chair of the Int
 ernational Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge (LAK) in 2011 and 
 2012 and the Learning Analytics Summer Institute in 2013 and 2014\, genera
 l chair of LAK’16\, and a founding editor of the Journal of Learning Ana
 lytics (2012-2017). Dragan is a (co-)author of numerous research papers an
 d books and a frequent keynote speaker.\n\nMore information\n
