Rethinking pedagogies of engagement with learning analytics

In recent years, the landscape of available technology for education has expanded, with the most influential example being the use of Artificial Intelligence in education. These tools hold the potential to transform education by making learning experiences more interactive, personalized, and responsive to individual student needs. However, despite their growing availability, the pedagogical approaches employed in many educational settings have not evolved at the same pace. This disconnect presents a critical challenge: how can we redesign pedagogies to make meaningful and effective use of the digital tools now at our disposal? This presentation will go into how learning analytics can inform pedagogies, with a focus on students’ cognitive, behavioural, emotional and social engagement with learning.
