Data Storytelling in Learning Analytics

A Half-day Virtual Workshop to Explore the Power of Storytelling in Learning Analytics 

Data storytelling has seen exponential growth in real-world demand in recent years. Its growing interest in the field of learning analytics (LA) is not an exception. In order for the learning analytics product to make real impacts, LA researchers and practitioners need to be equipped with the competence to construct coherent, unbiased, and compelling stories for various types of LA stakeholders. In recent years, there are emerging themes of data storytelling in the community of LA research and practices. Many LA-related data stories have been created, shared, and reflected on. Research processes and products have been explored around data storytelling. In this workshop, we will invite LA researchers and practitioners to create, share and reflect on their own LA stories and think critically and creatively about data storytelling in LA: 

• What does a good LA story look like? 

• What are the patterns of effective LA stories?  

• What are the success and failure stories of storytelling in LA? 

• How we could train LA researchers and practitioners to be better storytellers? 

• This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners in learning analytics and data storytelling to explore the strategies and tactics for telling effective LA data stores and the related challenges and opportunities.
