SLAM welcomes visitor

We are happy to welcome Gayane Sedrakyan to the SLAM team! She's visiting us for the next few months, and we're looking forward to benefit from her expertise in learning analytics. Below you can read her introduction.

I am a PhD candidate from KU Leuven. My research interests include educational technologies, learning process analytics, feedback automation and process-oriented feedback among others. In my previous research I could successfully apply learning analytics techniques to observing cognitive learning processes with respect to process-oriented feedback. I am happy to collaborate on SLAM project where I will have an opportunity to extend my research (on process-oriented feedback) to support self-regulative, co-regulative and socially shared learning processes. This will include
1. engagement in preliminary analysis of SLAM pilot experiment with a purpose of understanding future data and format needs,
2. planning and conducting new experimentation,
3. algorithms for visualizations of the results to support dashboards that focus on social/emotional context of learning, and most importantly
4. translation of the results into human readable formats for bi-directional feedback (supporting both learners and instructors).
