Lesson Observation Data in Learning Analytics Datasets: Observata

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 10474))

Abstract

Observational data can be used to illuminate different areas of teaching and learning process and enrich Learning Analytics data. Majority of lesson observation tools provide observational data that is not compliant with LA datasets. The paper presents Observata – a tablet computer application for context-aware semantic annotations of significant events during real time lesson observations. During the demo-session we expect the participants to engage in the discussion and provide feedback on the prototype.
