Call for Workshop Contributions to:
It’s about time: Purpose, methods and challenges of temporal analyses of multiple data
Streams
Recent studies of learning have involved concurrent collection of multiple types of data such as
computer activity logs and online discussion, or have applied multi-dimensional coding, resulting
in related data streams, which highlight the dynamic nature of learning and require analyses from
a temporal perspective. This workshop will explore issues emerging from integrating data streams
by identifying a set of analytic difficulties researchers face and illustrating the application of
specific methods that address these challenges.
Audience
This workshop is tailored towards those interested in exploring multi-dimensional quantitative
analysis of learning, conceptualized as inter-related processes occurring over time. More
specifically, two groups might find this workshop particularly relevant:
- Researchers who have completed some type of multi-dimensional coding of data such as interaction analysis, and
- CSCL researchers with time-related data, such as chat and log files of actions, who wish to integrate these data analytically.
