Abstract

This presentation will cover an overview of the main learning analysis activities carried out by the Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) from two different points of view: research and implementation/application at the university. We will review different research studies, including affective learning, behavioral analysis, visual analysis, prediction, clustering, assessment of the learning process, or adaptive learning. Some developed tools will also be presented. In addition, we will comment on the different continuous learning and applied analysis projects at UC3M, analyzing the different political implications.
