Title: Investigation and conclusions: Answer to the research question and report on the results
Course: Learning Analytics > Section: Data collection, analysis and reporting on the results

In the groups you formed in the previous task, conduct research to gain a deeper understanding of the problem you are interested in and to develop ideas for addressing it through the application of learning analytics.

Based on a concrete dataset from ISVU or Moodle (these may be data collected as part of the previous topic), carry out simple analyses that can help answer the research question. For the analyses, it will be sufficient to use Excel, although it is also possible to use, for example, SPSS, R, Python, Power BI, and JASP.

Then, in the form of a report (approximately 4 standard pages of text, where one page equals 1,800 characters; in Word or PDF format), present the results of your research. In addition to the research question, propose specific data sources and data types, methods, and potential tools that could be used, including examples of the analyses you conducted, and explain how the findings can be applied to improve learning and teaching. Refer to the literature you have studied and to the examples on which you based your ideas. In the report, list the names of the group members who worked on the task.

Participants’ submissions will be assessed according to the following criteria:

- clarity of problem formulation
- specificity of data sources and data types
- identification of concrete and appropriate methods
- application of the method to a small dataset
- meaningfulness and innovativeness of ideas for improving learning and teaching
- connection with the literature
