Bayesian Knowledge Tracing with Python for Researchers and Practitioners

On October 5, 4pm US PT, please join the Learning Analytics Learning Network and Zachary Pardos, Frederic Wang, and Anirudhan Badrinath from the University of California, Berkeley for the workshop Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) with Python for Researchers and Practitioners.

Attendees will learn about the first BKT library for Python (gaining familiarity with the fundamentals of BKT and model variants), to train a BKT model on common student response datasets, and to customize pyBKT models to test hypotheses about learning. The session will include a tutorial and hands-on break-out group activities.

More information is available at https://learninganalytics.net/laln/upcoming-events/ and registration is available at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/laln-bayesian-knowledge-tracing-with-python-for-researcherspractitioners-tickets-169188719013

We also have two upcoming events, Learning Analytics Workshop at DELFI 2021 (September 13) and the rescheduled event Digging Deeper in the Ethical Use of Learning Analytics (September 22). More information at https://learninganalytics.net/laln/upcoming-events/

High-Leverage Opportunities for Learning Engineering

Ryan Baker and Ulrich Boser released a report on High-Leverage Opportunities for Learning Engineering. In it, they discuss “the potential of learning engineering to bring theory and practice of learning forward, including both key areas where learning engineering can bring benefits, and key steps towards making those benefits a reality.”

If you are interested in learning engineering and are looking for ideas for a thesis or indeed an entire research practice, this is a great starting point.
