 Hello, my name is Abelardo Pardo. I am an associate professor at the University Carlos 3rd of Madrid and in this video I'm going to explain to you what we're going to be doing in the hands-on workshop about learning analytics that will happen at the JTEL Summer School in Nestorio So what is a workshop with a title like this all about? We basically are going to be talking about this area called learning analytics We can understand very easy learning analytics if we think about how users interact with the network They use digital devices which open the possibility to observe them while they do so I think we're all familiar with this business intelligence that recommends as for example a book after we have purchased another book This area can be applied also to a learning environment in a learning environment Students interact with each other and with digital devices Therefore, we can observe these learners while they behave in a learning environment in this workshop We're going to see how to apply what we call the five steps of analytics to this context We first need to collect observations about that environment. Those observations are then reported Those reports allows us to make predictions and the predictions turn into Interventions or we act upon the environment and these four steps can be refined to improve their effectiveness The workshop has been organized into five steps first a brief presentation to set the context Then we're going to get Practical with some data set exploration. We then put our knowledge together in a group discussion And finally we explore potential interventions and again we put them together for the group The tool we're going to be using is a statistical package called R and its graphical user interface known as RS Studio We need you to bring these tools installed in your own computer and we set a 20 person limit for the workshop. That's it If you want additional information about the workshop, you can check the URL that is shown in the screen right now. I hope to see you there. Bye
