What are they
thinking about?
How
boring!
I don't get
anything!
How cool!
Are they
following?
We'll find out at
the exam
8. Fast Feedback Loop
Waiting until the exam is too late
Fast feedback cycle important for learning
Remediation when it most effective
Probe information during the learning process
Adapt teaching to learning

24. Privacy
By capturing data from persons,
one has to be very careful with
how and what data is captured,
and how it is used, etc.
The correct legal measures
have to be taken
Who owns the data?
When it is raw?
When it is processed?

25. Causality
The brain is a big unknown
We know very little about
how learning works
By correlating a few data,
we are just scratching the surface
Learning Analytics is no silver bullet

26. Conclusion
Turn the learning process into a controlled process,
as many other processes (business, health, web)
Relevant are speed of feedback and amount of data
