“Teach the teachers” Multiplier Event in Spain

As part of the ISILA project dissemination and capacity-building activities, a “Teach the Teachers” workshop was organized at the Escuela Politécnica Superior de Zamora (University of Salamanca) on January 26th 2026. The session brought together 10 academic staff members from the host institution and other universities, with the aim of introducing them to the principles and practical applications of learning analytics and multimodal data in teaching.

The workshop was structured as a two-hour interactive session combining conceptual input with practical demonstrations. The session began with a general introduction to learning analytics, followed by a presentation of the tools and infrastructure developed within ISILA.

Particular attention was given to the pedagogical interpretation of multimodal data, the implementation of intervention strategies informed by analytics, and the use of dashboards to monitor student learning progress. Ethical considerations related to data collection, interpretation, and intervention were also addressed as a dedicated topic.

Overall, participant feedback was very positive. Attendees actively engaged in discussion and reflected on how the approaches presented during the workshop could be adapted and applied to their own courses and institutional contexts. Several participants explicitly identified opportunities to incorporate multimodal data analysis and analytics-informed interventions into their teaching practice, indicating a strong interest in transferring the ISILA framework beyond the piloting environments.
