Data Collection, Processing and Analysis

........refers to the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimising learning and the environments in which it occurs.

This is the ..... framework, which use the educational and psychological theory, together with the application of learning analytics to understand deeply learning processes.

Organize these examples of data collecting methods into the right categories

Groups:

(a) Tests, Text data

,

(b) Self-reports, video/audio data

What can be the risks of collecting data from a single source or metric? (multiple answers)

• Missing data

• Elaborating signal-to-noise ratio

• Missing contextual information

• Increasing the probability to measure latent aspects

Data......provide the methodological link between collected data and their utilisation in adaptive learning systems
