Towards Integration of Activity Theory and Learning Analytics for Instructional Design Theory in Mobile Age

• In Event: RTD - Computational Thinking, Activity Theory, and Learning Analytics

Short Description

For developing relevant and practical tools to theorize and analyze the mobile learning phenomenon, Activity Theory (AT) and Learning Analytics (LA) are reviewed. Multiple aspects of Engeström’s activity system model – structure and dynamics, action and context parts, semiotic and technological layers –are juxtaposed. The results indicate that AT, as a theoretical framework to describe the complexity of the target phenomena, can be coupled with LA, as the data analysis methodology in the mobile learning system.
