This paper compares approaches to visualising data for users in educational settings, contrasting visual learning analytics and open learner models. We consider the roots of each, and identify how each field can learn from experiences and approaches of the other, thereby benefiting both.

LAL workshop: learning analytics for learners
TLDR
While increasing numbers of technology-enhanced learning applications are embracing the potential of learning analytics at the classroom level, often these are aimed at teachers, however, learners can also benefit from learning analytics data.
An Analysis of Open Learner Models for Supporting Learning Analytics
  • Stylianos Sergis, D. Sampson
  • Computer Science
    Learning Technologies for Transforming Large-Scale Teaching, Learning, and Assessment
  • 2019
TLDR
This chapter is to present a generic educational data-driven layered Open Learner Modelling framework, which can be used as a blueprint for the analysis (and design) of OLM instances, that informs the data collection, processing and sense-making capabilities of the analytics technology.
SMILI☺: a Framework for Interfaces to Learning Data in Open Learner Models, Learning Analytics and Related Fields
  • S. Bull, J. Kay
  • Education
    International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education
  • 2015
TLDR
A revised and simpler version of SMILI☺ is presented, offering this as a guide for designers of interfaces for OLMs, learning analytics and related fields, and highlighting the areas where there is need for more research.
Using Visualizations to Improve Assessment in Blended Learning Environments
TLDR
A system that helps lecturers to integrate information from different sources and to perform an analysis of the data through the use of visual learning analytics techniques is presented.
SMILIJ: A Framework for Interfaces to Learning Data in Open Learner Models, Learning Analytics and Related Fields
The SMILIJ (Student Models that Invite the Learner In) Open Learner Model Framework was created to provide a coherent picture of the many and diverse forms of Open Learner Models (OLMs). The aim was…
Helping Teachers to Identify Students at Risk and Analyze their Learning Process
TLDR
This paper proposes the inclusion in AdESMuS of a module for the prediction of students at risk, what can help teachers to easily identify those students whilst there is the possibility of taking some remediation actions to improve the learning outcomes.
Transparent Player Model: Adaptive Visualization of Learner Model in Educational Games
TLDR
This work argues that this work can provide a valuable starting point for applying OLMs or adaptive visualizations of players’ learner models within gameplay sessions, which, in turn, can help to address both issues of application of LA to game research and OLMs.
Using Visual Learning Analytics to Support Competence-based Learning
TLDR
A system called COBLE (Competence-Based Learning Environment) that supports Competence-based Learning and combines Visual Learning Analytics and recommendation aspects in order to promote the students' and lecturers' self-reflection about the learning and teaching processes is presented.
Negotiated learner modelling to maintain today’s learner models
  • S. Bull
  • Computer Science, Education
    Res. Pract. Technol. Enhanc. Learn.
  • 2016
TLDR
The use of negotiated open learner models are suggested as a means to both maintain the accuracy of learNER models comprising multiple sources of data and prompt learner reflection during this model discussion process.
RubricVis: enriching rubric-based formative assessment with visual learning analytics
TLDR
Some of the visualization capabilities provided by RubricVis, a system that uses Visual Learning Analytics techniques to enhance rubric-based formative assessment, are presented to enrich the feedback for both students and teachers in such evaluation environments.

Learning Analytics as a Metacognitive Tool
TLDR
It is sustain that learning analytics offers opportunities to the students to reflect about learning and develop metacognitive skills and student-centered analytics are highlighted as a useful approach for reframing learning analytics as a tool for supporting self-directed and self-regulated learning.

Usefulness of information visualizations based on educational data
TLDR
According to the results of this research, most of the students seemed to prefer visualizations that offer concrete and practical support for their studies rather thanVisualizations that support them in monitoring and evaluating their own learning performance.
