[apologies for cross posting] Dear all, Join us for the 14th International Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference, March 18-22, 2024, in Kyoto, Japan. We are very excited to be offering LAK24 for the first time in Asia! LAK24 Homepage: https://www.solaresearch.org/events/lak/lak24/ GENERAL CALL The 2024 edition of The International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge (LAK24) will take place in Kyoto, Japan. LAK24 is organized by the Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR) with Kyoto University. LAK24 is a collaborative effort by learning analytics researchers and practitioners to share the most rigorous cutting edge work in learning analytics. The theme for the 14th annual LAK conference is Learning Analytics in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence has been relevant for learning analytics since the early days of the field. This has mostly been manifested by building upon the algorithms of machine learning to analyze data about learners and learning environments. The conversations about artificial intelligence in education used to be mostly contained within specialized communities of practitioners and researchers. Since late 2022, this has rapidly changed. Discourse in mainstream media and among the general public has been dominated by the coverage of the developments in generative artificial intelligence. The notable examples are such technologies as ChatGPT and DALL-E that harness the power of deep learning algorithms to generate impressively human-like text and images based on relatively simple human prompts. These technologies have given some glimpses about the emerging age of artificial intelligence. The prominence of artificial intelligence has also opened profound debates about implications on education from the need to develop relevant literacies to work with artificial intelligence to challenging the established notions of assessment in education. Through the theme of the 14th annual LAK conference, we encourage the authors to consider implications for learning analytics and the role the field can play in the age of artificial intelligence. The LAK conference is intended for both researchers and practitioners. We invite both researchers and practitioners of learning analytics to come and join a proactive dialogue around the future of learning analytics and its practical adoption. We further extend our invite to educators, leaders, administrators, government and industry professionals interested in the field of learning analytics and its related disciplines. We welcome submissions from both research and practice, encompassing different theoretical, methodological, empirical and technical contributions to the learning analytics field. Learning analytics research draws on many distinct academic fields, including psychology, the learning sciences, education, neuroscience, computer science and design. We encourage the submission of work conducted in any of these traditions, as long as it is done rigorously. We also welcome research that validates, replicates and examines the generalizability of previously published findings, as well as examines aspects of adoption of existing learning analytics methods and approaches. Specifically, this year, we encourage contributors to consider learning analytics in the age of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence offers novel technologies that can be useful for addressing important problems in learning analytics from analysis of large amounts of data to assessment and to generation of personalized feedback. Artificial intelligence sets the new context in education that has triggered many to take relevant steps to adapt from the ways we generate content to the ways we design assessments and to the types of skills we need to develop. Adaptation to this new context requires fundamental research about implications on learning, teaching, and education, and learning analytics can play a considerable role. Authors should note that: · SoLAR recognizes the importance of open, accessible, reproducible, repeatable, and replicable data and analyses approaches. SoLAR also recognizes a diversity of epistemological, ethical, and legal challenges and opportunities which such approaches face. · The LAK conference has received a CORE ranking of A (top 16.41% of all 792 ranked venues). · LAK is the only conference in the top 20 Google Scholar citation ranks for educational technology publications.
