Learning and Evidence Analytics Framework (LEAF)

The Learning and Evidence Analytics Framework (LEAF) is a comprehensive technical framework that seamlessly integrates research and production systems, facilitating educational data science research and AI-driven services for users User management is handled by the learning management system (LMS), and various tools, including the e-book reader, BookRoll, and the learning dashboard LogPallet, are connected through the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) protocol. Interactions within the LMS and tools are logged as standard xAPI statements in the Learning Record Store (LRS). The data stored in the LRS is then utilized for visualization in the learning dashboard and for creating various data-driven services.

demo: Group formation & Peer feedback with LEAF

During the interactive event, we will showcase how grouping can be easily done in the LEAF system based on learner model attributes that are captured in the learning activities. The following figure shows different learner model attributes which can be used to automatically create either homogeneous or heterogeneous groups within the data-driven group learning module in LEAF. Teachers can select any number of attributes and group sizes to create groups. Any students’ attributes that are external such as test scores (performance data) and survey responses (perception data) can be uploaded to the dashboard. The system also incorporates those attributes apart from the reading attributes computed from the BookRoll logs. Another function of the group work module is to assist peer and teacher evaluation with rating and feedback. All the evaluation and feedback data are also synchronized to the student model and further used for subsequent algorithmic grouping. 

Agenda

Total time: around 2 hours

We are open to participants from both research and practice with multidisciplinary background. We plan to have on-site participants be part of the interactive event. Face-to-face discussions in group activity are encouraged, but we will keep provision for online participation. We will request the face-to-face participants to bring their personal computers for exploring LEAF system.

Organizing Committee

The organizers of this event are learning analytics researchers who are also developing and implementing the LEAF system from Learning and Educational Technologies Research Unit, Kyoto University (https://www.let.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/).
