    Journal of Information Technology Research (JITR) has a long tradition in publishing research papers devoted to develop new automatic and intelligent data analysis, for example this feature is pretty present in the four papers that compose current JITR issue. Artificial intelligent techniques, new algorithms, data mining approaches, agent-based solutions, etc. are usually used to do that. Also, it is very common that the performed analysis techniques are complemented with data visualization for presenting the results to the analyst in order to proceed with the decision-making processes

    This is the presentation of the paper entitled “Interaction design principles in WYRED platform” in the Emerging interactive systems for education session at the HCI International 2017 Conference, held in Vancouver, Canada, 9 - 14 July 2017. This work presents the requirements elicitation phase for the WYRED platform. WYRED (netWorked Youth Research for Empowerment in the Digital society) is a European H2020 Project that aims to provide a framework for research in which children and young people can express and explore their perspectives and interests in relation to digital society, but also a platform from which they can communicate their perspectives to other stakeholders effectively through innovative engagement processes. The requirement elicitation is a basic step to design the interactive mechanism to build up the needed social dialog among the involved stakeholders. In order to set up the right interactive tasks, not only functional requirements are elicited, the non-functional requirements play a key role in this project, specially regarding to ensure the security and privacy of the underage people that will be presented in the development of this project

    Learning analytics to assess students’ behavior with scratch through clickstream

    The construction of knowledge through computational practice requires to teachers a substantial amount of time and effort to evaluate programming skills, to understand and to glimpse the evolution of the students and finally to state a quantitative judgment in learning assessment. This suposes a huge problem of time and no adecuate intime feedback to students while practicing programming activities. The field of learning analytics has been a common practice in research since last years due their great possibilities in terms of learning improvement. Such possibilities can be a strong positive contribution in the field of computational practice such as programming. In this work we attempt to use learning analytics to ensure intime and quality feedback through the analysis of students behavior in programming practice. Hence, in order to help teachers in their assessments we propose a solution to categorize and understand students’ behavior in programming activities using business technics such as web clickstream. Clickstream is a technique that consists in the collection and analysis of data generated by users. We applied it in learning programming environments to study students behavior to enhance students learning and programming skills. The results of the work supports this business technique as useful and adequate in programming practice. The main finding showns a first taxonomy of programming behaviors that can easily be used in a classroom. This will help teachers to understand how students behave in their practice and consequently enhance assessment and students’ following-up to avoid examination failures.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

    La conferencia “Inteligencia Institucional para la Mejora de los Procesos de Enseñanza- Aprendizaje” fue impartida el 20 de mayo de 2015 en Universidad Autónoma de Madrid en la Jornada CRUE-TIC / EUNIS-BI sobre Inteligencia Institucional en Universidades. El objetivo de esta charla fue introducir las posibilidades que abren las analíticas del aprendizaje en la gobernanza de las universidades. La conferencia se ha organizado en 5 apartados principales. En primer lugar se contextualiza el universo digital, especialmente en el entorno universitario, así como la importancia de analizar los datos. El segundo apartado define qué es analítica y analítica visual. El tercero introduce los conceptos de analítica académica y analítica del aprendizaje. El cuarto presenta el modelo VeLA (Visual eLearning Analytics). Por último, el quinto cierra con las conclusiones de la conferencia
