This hybrid-format symposium brings together four research projects related to the LEAF system and educational data utilization, with the goal of sharing case studies, facilitating dialogue between pilot schools, and introducing current research initiatives.
While the concept of “educational data utilization” continues to gain momentum, the actual practice of integrating data into daily teaching remains limited. On Day 1 (October 19), eight teachers from pilot schools (ranging from elementary to high school) will present real-world classroom examples of how they are using educational data.
On Day 2 (October 20), researchers from the four participating projects will present cutting-edge work on topics such as explainable AI, virtual learning environments, remote teaching, inclusive education, information literacy, ELSI (Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues), and multimodal learning analytics.
We warmly invite educators, school administrators, local boards of education, companies, and researchers to attend and engage in dialogue and knowledge exchange.
