Co-designing Reflective Learning in an Analytics-driven Educational Ecosystem: Introducing the LA-ReflecT Platform
Arts and Sciences Research Seminar Series
Rwitajit Majumdar
Associate Professor
Kumamoto University
Japan
Speaker
Online learning tools are now versatile and they often have capacity to capture learners’ interaction data and artefacts generated. This interactive talk discusses how data-driven services can be created to support reflective practices of instructors and support self-regulated learning of learners. An example of the LA-ReflecT platform will be demonstrated. La-ReflecT can be linked to existing learning management system. Teachers can author micro-learning activities and publish them for the learners to attempt. A learning dashboard provides the different services for the learner and teachers to reflect on the attempted activity tasks. It also provides access to the various interaction data for further analysis by the teachers and students themselves. The talk will include a hands on activities session with LA-ReflecT.
