Expanding the Analytical Horizon: Additional Possibilities of Multimodal Dashboards in ISILA
The development of multimodal dashboards within the ISILA project represents not only a technical enhancement of learning analytics infrastructures, but also a conceptual shift in how learning processes can be observed, interpreted, and acted upon. Rather than treating dashboards as passive visualization tools, the ISILA approach positions them as epistemic instruments: interfaces through which complex, […]
Lessons learned: Refined guidelines for intervention

Comparative Analysis of Student Performance Across Different Cohorts in Higher Education
Tracking student progress throughout their coursework is a common topic in educational research. While valuable insights can be gained from analyzing learner data, such analysis can sometimes be misleading, particularly when it involves predicting students’ final course achievements or drawing generalized conclusions from these predictions that do not account for individual student engagement. The study […]
