SySTEM 2020: Science Learning Outside the Classroom

SySTEM 2020 focuses on science learning outside the classroom, mapping the field across Europe, evaluating a number of transdisciplinary programmes to design best principles for educators in this field, and also examining individual learning ecologies by piloting self-evaluation tools for learners which will document science learning outside of the classroom. This study maps practices in 19 EU countries, including in-depth studies in 8 of these countries, covering learners between 9 - 20 years from various backgrounds including those from geographically remote, socio-economically disadvantaged, minority and/or migrant communities. H2020 project.

Business Competencies Analytics

Current practice in corporate training analytics has been based on monitoring the behaviour of learners across various learning platforms. This type of monitoring has been challenging for a number of reasons (diversity of learning platforms, statistics that don’t translate into actionable metrics).

Thus, there is a need for technology which will consider type of competencies such as critical thinking and deliver a mappings to actionable analytics.

Understanding EdTech Apps via Cultural Analytics

We visualized and analyzed the icons of 158,200 educational apps that were uploaded to Apple’s App Store from July 2008 to November 2014, using a big-data visualization method called Cultural Analytics. We demonstrate how analyzing the software icons of an application domain (in our case, education) can help researchers gain insights into the domain.
