Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference 2023
Welcome to the DesignLAK23 Workshop
Welcome to the DesignLAK23 Workshop
The 8th Annual DesignLAK workshop brings together work by the learning analytics community over the past decade to assess what has been achieved in bridging learning design (LD) and learning analytics (LA), and explore what further challenges need to be overcome in order to guide the development of systems that can support the provision of pedagogically meaningful learning analytics to teachers and learners. A working paper written for the purpose of this workshop will be used to introduce key frameworks proposed in literature, and situate how these contributions provide building blocks in relation to what would be needed to create an integrated, continuous bridge between LD and LA. The workshop activities will involve learning scenarios to enable the critique of a proposed integrated framework for LD/LA. Participants will work in and share across groups to identify the usefulness of the framework presented in the working paper, as well as the gaps and challenges that remain to be resolved to realise an operationalisable link between LD and LA. Another outcome of the workshop will be the development of evaluation projects that will be conducted throughout the year, and showcased in next year’s DesignLAK workshop.

Part 1: Introduction
Introduction to the workshop aims and outcomes, as well as an icebreaker activity to allow participants to get to know each other and why they chose to engage in this LD/LA conversation.Part 2: Discussion
A discussion of the proposed integrated LD/LA framework and exploration of the key elements and layers for consideration, as presented in the working paper.Part 3: Integrated Framework
Participants will have a chance to work in groups to apply the integrated framework to authentic learning scenarios. To engage with these scenarios, access will be provided to the Ruby platform, which is an easily navigable assessment platform that can monitor, track and support developmental learning, and can demonstrate students’ progress at any point in time.Part 4: Integrated Framework Feedback
All groups will reconvene (after a short break) to discuss and critique the proposed integrated framework. Participants will be encouraged to generate feedback on what works and what improvements could be made to strengthen the usefulness of the framework for LA practitioners, teachers, and students.Part 5: Future Directions
Participants will be encouraged to generate ideas and identify collaborators for ongoing projects to evaluate the proposed framework within their own contexts or across contexts.
Objectives of the Workshop
Objectives of the Workshop
The overall goal of DesignLAK23 is to help consolidate the conceptual and practical investigations, proposed frameworks, and technology-based tools to address challenges around how best to build the bridge to connect learning design and learning analytics. During the workshop, we plan to explore and critique
(1) the alignment between intended learning outcomes, pedagogy, task sequence, and assessment design with LA,
(2) the ways that models of learner progression can be developed from an LD to inform how feedback can be visualised, and
(3) how the resulting LD-informed LA visualisations can be interpreted and utilised for feedback to learners and educators/designers.
Who should participate?
Who should participate?
The workshop is designed for a wider audience, including learning analytics researchers and practitioners, as well as learning designers interested in using LA to inform their research/practice. So if you are a LAK attendee, such as below, you should attend!
Educators
Learning Designers
Researchers (including doctoral candidates)
How to Participate?
How to Participate?
Prior to the workshop the organisers will work on the development of a working paper that draws together what has been learnt as a field over the last decade related to the connection between learning design and learning analytics. Existing frameworks and commentary will be reviewed to provide a comprehensive exploration of the conversation so far and to contribute to the design of a proposed integrated LD/LA framework to consolidate this work across the field. The working paper will be distributed to workshop participants prior to the workshop to allow them time to read and engage with the ideas presented in preparation for the workshop discussions.
Please visit the LAK23 conference website to register for the workshop. No paper submission is required.
