Nina and Stefan join the team

Team

We are glad to announce that two new team members have joined the EduTec team as PhD candidates. A warm welcome to Nina Mouhammad and Stefan Hummel! Nina and Stefan will work with Daniele Di Mitri on the HyTea project (Model for Hybrid Teaching). Nina will focus on data-driven approaches to include the human expert in the automated feedback loop, investigating the concept of "value alignment" in education. Stefan will focus on multimodal system architecture that will support the HyTea prototypes.

Lebiniz Leadership Academy

Academy

The German Leibniz Association, the network of German research institutes that includes DIPF, now has its new Leadership Academy, a training course entitled "Leadership Development" for early-stage junior research leaders in one of the Leibniz institutes with a maximum of two years of experience in leadership positions. This programme is aimed at junior research group leaders looking for further personal development and guidance in their day-to-day leadership roles. Daniele Di Mitri has been selected on behalf of DIPF to participate in this training course. The course consists of four presence modules about "self-leadership" and "leading people". The first event took place from the 11th to the 13th of October in Berlin, the second will occur in January 2023. For more info about the course, check the Leibniz website.

New Pub: Multimodal Learning Experience for Deliberate Practice

Book chapter

A new book chapter has been published as part of the Multimodal Learning Analytics Handbook edited by Springer. While digital education technologies have improved to make educational resources more available, the modes of interaction they implement remain largely unnatural for the learner. Modern sensor-enabled computer systems allow extending human-computer interfaces for multimodal communication. Advances in Artificial Intelligence allow interpreting the data collected from multimodal and multi-sensor devices. These insights can be used to support deliberate practice with personalised feedback and adaptation through Multimodal Learning Experiences (MLX). This chapter elaborates on the approaches, architectures, and methodologies in five different use cases that use multimodal learning analytics applications for deliberate practice.

Keynote: Artificial Intelligence and Immersive Technologies for Feedback Augmentation

Invited talk, Keynote

On 5th October 2022, Dr Daniele Di Mitri was invited to give a keynote workshop at the SITE interactive online conference. Keynote Workshop: Artificial Intelligence and Immersive Technologies for Feedback Augmentation Abstract: Twenty-first-century learners are continuously required to nurture their competencies by acquiring new knowledge and mastering new skills. A way to meet this significant demand for learning is to offer learners continuous instruction and timely feedback. In the internet era, learners have access to a large variety of educational content outside formal education curricula, including online courses or video lectures. Unfortunately, access to content alone is not sufficient for guaranteeing learning. What is needed, and often lacking, is proper guidance and feedback. Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems can provide automatic, personalised, real-time feedback to learners in distance learning settings when…

New Pub: Actionable Components of a Model for Augmented Feedback

Feedback, Higher Education, Multimodal Learning Analytics, Workshop

A new workshop paper was presented at the MILeS 2022 workshop written by Daniele Di Mitri, Sebastian Gombert, Onur Karademir entitled: Reflecting on the Actionable Components of a Model for Augmented Feedback. The MILeS 2022 – Multimodal Immersive Learning Systems workshop took place on the 13th of September at EC-TEL 2022 conference taking place in Toulouse, France. The paper will appear in the CEUR proceedings. Abstract. In this paper, we introduce the concept of "Augmented feedback'' as an enhanced version of traditional educational feedback enriched by digital data and artificial intelligence. To provide an operational definition of augmented feedback, we acknowledge previous research in the fields of technology-enhanced learning and learning analytics. We argue why augmented feedback constitutes a promising research direction for the future of learning. We define the…

New Pub: Privacy-Preserving and Scalable Affect Detection in Online Synchronous Learning

Artificial Intelligence, Conference, Multimodal Learning Analytics, Publication, Research topic

A full research paper entitled "Privacy-Preserving and Scalable Affect Detection in Online Synchronous Learning" written by Felix Böttger, Ufuk Cetinkaya, Daniele Di Mitri, Sebastian Gombert, Krist Shingjergji, Deniz Iren & Roland Klemke was accepted at the Seventeenth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL 2022) Educating for a new future: Making sense of technology-enhanced learning adoption - Toulouse, France, 12-16 September 2022 The paper reports on a research prototype which stems from the cooperation between DIPF and the Open University of the Netherlands. Abstract The recent pandemic has forced most educational institutions to shift to distance learning. Teachers can perceive various non-verbal cues in face-to-face classrooms and thus notice when students are distracted, confused, or tired. However, the students’ non-verbal cues are not observable in online classrooms. The lack of…
