Towards integrated learning design with across-spaces learning analytics: a flipped classroom example

Abstract

In this paper we discuss work in progress regarding the integration of learning analytics and learning design in the frame of the Integrated Learning Design Environment (ILDE). ILDE is a community platform where teachers can design learning activities using multiple authoring tools. Authoring tools can be generic, meaning that designs authored can be deployed in multiple learning systems, or specific, when designs authored can be deployed in particular systems (e.g., mobile learning applications). These particular systems may be devoted to supporting activities in specific virtual or physical spaces. For across-spaces learning designs involving multiple systems to support activities in diverse spaces, ILDE enables the selection and articulation of multiple authoring tools in what we call “design workflows”. This paper argues that this integrated approach to learning design can also benefit an articulated, meaningful interpretation of learning analytics across-spaces. This calls for an extension of ILDE incorporating learning analytics. The proposed extension is illustrated with activities across-spaces in a flipped classroom scenario.
