Abstract

[This chapter reviews key challenges of learning analytics and educational data mining. It highlights early generation learning analytics pitfalls that could compromise the future of their use in technology-delivered instruction, especially if teachers are not well trained and adequately equipped with both technical and sociocritical literacy of this new field. Among the issues are potential for bias and inaccuracy in the algorithms involved, the propensity toward closed proprietary systems whose algorithms cannot be scrutinized, and the paucity of learning models typically considered. The new learning analytics and educational data mining systems bring with them a set of claims, aspirations, and mystique. These underlying technologies could be harbingers of future breakthroughs: a new generation of artificial intelligence systems adaptively responding to students’ interactions with online teaching environments.]
