Critical Online Reasoning, Higher Education, Learning Analytics, Summer School, Workshop
At the 18th EATEL Summer School on Technology-Enhanced Learning (JTELSS 2024) in Gabicce Mare, Pesaro, Italy, Gianluca Romano and Sebastian Gombert conducted the workshop "From Learner Behavior to Big Data: How to Implement and Scale Learning Analytics Infrastructures in the Cloud”. In the ever-evolving world of cloud computing, Azure stands out as a robust platform offering a myriad of services and tools to help businesses innovate and scale. Recently, we had the chance to delve deep into Azure's ecosystem, exploring its billing structures, infrastructure capabilities, and budgeting models. Here's a glimpse into what we learned and how you can leverage Azure for tracking user behavior and managing costs effectively. One of the foundational aspects of working with Azure is understanding its billing structure, which is organized into tenants, subscriptions, and…

Building an Application to Track Psychomotor Skills with Wearable Sensors @ #JTELSS23

Summer School, Workshop
At the 17th EATEL Summer School on Technology-Enhanced Learning (JTELSS 2023) in La Manga, Spain, Gianluca Romano, Jan Schneider, and Daniele Di Mitri conducted the workshop "Building an Application to Track Psychomotor Skills with Wearable Sensors”. The workshop delved into the world of scalable mobile applications and wearable sensors, providing insights into psychomotor skill development. Let's take a moment to reflect on the key highlights from this enriching session. Participants embarked on an exploration of mobile application architecture, gaining a comprehensive understanding of how tasks are effectively distributed between the frontend and backend. Further, participants learned about software building principles to build more reliable and maintainable software such as Separation of Concerns, Single Source of Truth, and Dependency Injection. Through interactive exercises and insightful group work, attendees discovered what it…

New Pub: Meaningful Feedback from Wearable Sensor Data to Train Psychomotor Skill

New Pub: Meaningful Feedback from Wearable Sensor Data to Train Psychomotor Skill

Workshop
A new workshop paper was presented at the MILeS 2022 workshop written by Gianluca Romano entitled: Meaningful Feedback from Wearable Sensor Data to Train Psychomotor Skill. 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. Learning psycho-motor skills requires feedback for improvement and give insight on performance. However, providing feedback is not trivial. Every learner is different and the same feedback might not work for everyone. The workshop aims to make participants aware of the problematic transition from analyzed wearable sensor data to meaningful feedback. Thus, the participants will get more familiar with wearable sensor data and directly experience how learners might want to receive feedback that they deem…
