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 […]
Reflecting on the pilots
We have released the ISILA Piloting Report, which presents a comprehensive overview of the piloting activities carried out during the ISILA project across partner institutions, encompassing a diverse range of courses, from Object-Oriented Programming and Distributed Systems to Social Network Analysis and Digital Design.

Sofia University pilot Human-Computer Interaction course
Sofia University (SU) has successfully piloted its Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) course under the ISILA project. This course includes user-centered design, prototyping, usability evaluation, and interactive technologies, with 122 enrolled students with hands-on skills for crafting intuitive digital interfaces. The pilot leveraged a Learning Record Store (LRS) and multimodal dashboards to track engagement metrics like time […]
UiB Piloting – Fantastic Data Course
At the University of Bergen, Fantastic Data Course (DIGI110) was piloted as part of the ISILA project. This course is fully online and introduces students to the role of data and digitalization in society, encouraging critical reflection on technology’s impact. The pilot tested how learning analytics can support teaching and course design. Dashboards were used […]
Piloting Social Network Analysis at UEF
As part of the ISILA project, the University of Eastern Finland piloted the Social Network Analysis (SNA) course with the aim of exploring how learning analytics can enhance student engagement and support. The pilot looked at how early signals from course activity and surveys could help identify students who might be struggling with participation, assignments, […]
Piloting Data Management Systems with Early Interventions at UEF
We recently completed the piloting of the Data Management Systems course at the University of Eastern Finland as part of the ISILA project, which focuses on improving the quality and sustainability of learning through early intervention methods supported by learning analytics. The pilot explored how data-driven insights can help identify student needs at an early […]
