I am a Senior Lecturer at the Academic Center for Computing and Media Studies(ACCMS), and
the Department of Social informatics in the Graduate School of Informatics at Kyoto
University. I am associated with the project in Prof. Hiroaki Ogata's Learning and
Educational Technologies Research Unit.
My research focuses on Learning Analytics and Human-data interactions. In the team, I design
user workflow for data-informed decision making in the teaching-learning context. Given any
technology-enhanced learning context, I investigate the user and system interactions based
on the log data generated while they operate in the technology platform to complete their
set tasks. Based on that data analysis, I aim to inform AI technology design, evaluate the
effectiveness and theorize about the teaching and learning process when supported by
technology. My primary stakeholders are teachers and students. I am fortunate to be working
with a group of extremely motivated collaborators on various projects!
Supporting Reflective Teaching Strategies in an Analytics-driven Learning Ecosystem.
Learning Analytics (LA) is a growing field focusing on capturing, analyzing, and utilizing data from teaching-learning contexts. It aims to facilitate a better understanding of the learning experiences and thereby enhance it. In this talk, I shall share the research findings from a sustained collaboration between researchers and educators from India and Japan over the last 4 years. The LA-enhanced system, designed and developed in Japan, was utilized in different university classroom teaching contexts in Japan and India. With the research case studies, I would highlight a model of how to support reflective practices in an analytics-driven learning ecosystem.
