It’s about time: Purpose, methods and challenges of temporal analyses of multiple data Streams
April 11th, 2010Call 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.
