Authenticating the Signal: Validating Digital Traces of Student Learning Using Concurrent, Corroborating Data Sources

Fri, April 22, 11:30am to 1:00pm PDT (11:30am to 1:00pm PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: North Building, Lobby Level, Marriott Grand Ballroom 8

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium is designed to convene self-regulated learning and learning analytics researchers who aim to validate the digital trace data they collect. The session will focus discussion on a shared theoretical model and allow research teams to demonstrate data collection methods, strategies to align data, data processing techniques to establish concurrence, and metrics to establish validity of the interpretation of a digitally traced event across learners, time, and context. Presenters will share findings obtained from studies conducted in-vivo in undergraduate courses and learning management system settings, and in laboratory studies involving tasks sampled from participants own courses. Validity evidence will be appraised through the lens of recent standards proposed to the learning analytics community for tracing self-regulated learning processes.
