ABSTRACT: There are two parts to this seminar. The first part reports about the objective and expectations of the Key Technology Partnership program between BIT School of Physics and UTS (University of Technology Sydney) Faculty of Science; and opportunities for graduate students to obtain a dual PhD at UTS within the KTP program as part of a research collaboration between researchers at BIT and UTS.
The second part focuses on the opportunities in Educational Data Mining and Learning Analytics. Educational Data Miming develops methods and applies techniques from statistics, machine learning, and data mining to analyze data collected during the process of teaching & learning and its administration. Educational Data Mining has been employed to provide universities with intelligence about the performance of their institution and appropriateness or success of their degree programs and teaching staff. Learning Analytics applies techniques from information science, sociology, psychology, statistics, machine learning, and data mining to analyze data collected during education administration and services, teaching and learning. In contrast to Educational Data Mining which emphasizes on high-level automated system generated responses, Learning Analytics enables human tailoring and takes often a pro-active, and real-time role with direct intervention in educational practices and student learning.
