Call for Papers: Adoption of Data Analytics in Higher Education Learning and Teaching

Filed Under: News April 15, 2019 By Jordan Reiter

An edited volume by Dirk Ifenthaler & David Gibson
to be published by Springer, New York

                       Proposal Due: 15 May 2019

Introduction

The UNESCO Chair for Data Science in Higher Education Learning and Teaching aims to
advance global knowledge, practice and policy in applying data science to transform
higher education learning and teaching to improve personalisation, access and
effectiveness of education for all. Currently, higher education institutions and involved
stakeholders can derive multiple benefits from educational data mining and learning
analytics by using different data analytics strategies to produce summative, real-time,
and predictive insights and recommendations.

Although the field of learning analytics is receiving a lot of attention for its capacity to provide
lead indicators of student failureand supporting learning processes, it has primarily focused to date
on individual courses in isolation, rather than the capabilities of higher education institutions as
learning organisations. Accordingly, the implementation of learning analytics at higher
education institutions may have broad implications for the organisation (e.g.,
technological infrastructure, policies and regulations) and its stakeholders (e.g.,
students, academic staff, administrators) including changes in learning culture and
educational decision-making.

This edited volume “Adoption of Data Analytics in Higher Education Learning and
Teaching” is part of the Springer book series “Advances in Analytics for Learning and
Teaching” (https://www.springer.com/series/16338) targeting insights into the
emerging paradigms, frameworks, methods and processes of managing change to
better facilitate organisational transformation toward implementation of educational
data mining and learning analytics.

We invite broader perspectives regarding the topic of Data Analytics in Higher
Education Learning and Teaching, featuring the following themes:

  1. Theoretical foundation and empirical evidence of the adoption of learning
    analytics
  2. Technological infrastructure and staff capabilities required,
  3. Institutional governance and policy implementation,
  4. Case studies that describe current practices and experiences in the use
    of data analytics in higher education.

Call for Proposals

Prospective authors (co-authors are welcome) are invited to submit a chapter proposal,
including title, authors, affiliations, abstract (max. 300 words), five keywords, three key
references and a description of how the chapter fits the theme of the book (see above),
no later than 15 May 2019 to Dirk Ifenthaler (dirk@ifenthaler.info).

The proposed chapter should be a previously unpublished work. Upon acceptance of
the chapter proposal, the final chapter should be completed no later than 15
September 2019. Contributions will be blind reviewed and returned with comments by
15 October 2019. Finalised chapters are due no later than 01 December 2019. The
