Learning Analytics Themes and Topics
------------------------------------
Worldwide, the use of technology in all fields of education is at a
historical high. The pandemic situation boosted the growth of education
in the online context: online learning is becoming an essential part of
the educational landscape.

Learning Analytics has always been a measurement of data about learners
and their contexts for understanding and optimizing learning and the
environments in which it occurs. It is a combination of educational
research, assessment sciences, statistics, visualization, data sciences,
artificial intelligence, and socio-technical system thinking for
human-centered design.

Educational concepts and practices can be enhanced, and put on trial, by
means of theories and techniques of Learning Analytics. Learning
Analytics can support educational practices to reach better results, in
any learning context, from traditional learning, in less technological
areas, to personalized and adaptive e-learning, extending its usefulness
to social-wide learning-on-demand applications.

In order to perform and develop Learning Analytics, current data science
and intelligent systems should be introduced in addition to the
conventional instruction/learning systems, theories, and practices.

At this stage of its evolution, Learning Analytics requires transparency
and an “easy to grasp” feeling, such as the visualization process of the
educational data can produce.

The interaction between Learning Analytics and Information Visualization
may produce a new concept of educational innovation.

The Learning Analytics Symposium within the Information Visualization
Conference LA@iV2023 aims at bringing together researchers from a number
of disciplines (e.g., Education, Computer Science and Artificial
Intelligence in particular, Management, Psychology, Economics,
CyberSecurity, and Data Governance), practitioners, students,
policymakers and companies to share and discuss the latest research
insights related to Learning Analytics and its interaction with
Information Visualization.

Therefore, we welcome submissions from both research and practice,
encompassing different theoretical, methodological, empirical, and
technical contributions to the Learning Analytics field. Academics and
practitioners, who are interested in such topics should consider
submitting their research work and attending this event.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Learning Analytics and AI
     AI for Education [Learning, Teaching, Intelligent Assessment and
Feedback]
