There are emerging concerns about the Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics (FATE) of educational interventions supported by use Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms. One methods for increasing trust in AI systems is to eXplainable (XAI), which promotes that produce transparent explanations reasons decisions make. Considering existing literature on XAI, this paper argues XAI education has commonalities with broader but also distinctive needs. Accordingly, we first present a...

Feedback is an essential component of scaffolding for learning. provides insights into the assistance learners in terms achieving learning goals and improving self-regulated skills. In online courses, feedback becomes even more critical since instructors students are separated geographically physically. this context, allows instructor to customize content according students' needs. However, giving a challenging task instructors, especially contexts large cohorts. As result, several automatic...

Educational feedback has been widely acknowledged as an effective approach to improving student learning. However, scaling practices can be laborious and costly, which motivated researchers work on automated systems (AFS). Inspired by the recent advancements in pre-trained language models (e.g., ChatGPT), we posit that such might advance existing knowledge of textual generation AFS because their capability offer natural-sounding detailed responses. Therefore, aimed investigate feasibility...

Abstract Learning analytics (LA) has demonstrated great potential in improving teaching quality, learning experience and administrative efficiency. However, the adoption of LA higher education is often beset by challenges areas such as resources, stakeholder buy‐in, ethics privacy. Addressing these a complex system requires agile leadership that responsive to pressures environment capable managing conflicts. This paper examines processes among 21 UK institutions using complexity theory...

Learning analytics promises to support adaptive learning in higher education. However, the associated issues around privacy protection, especially their implications for students as data subjects, has been a hurdle wide-scale adoption. In light of this, we set out understand student expectations related and identify gaps between what desire they expect happen or choose do reality when it comes protection. To this end, an investigation was carried UK education institution using survey (N=674)...

There is a proliferation of learning analytics (LA) dashboards aimed at supporting teachers. Yet, teachers still find it challenging to make sense LA dashboards, thereby making informed decisions. Two main strategies address this are emerging: i) upskilling teachers' data literacy; ii) improving the explanatory design features current (e.g., adding visual cues or text) minimise skills required by effectively use dashboards. While each approach has its own trade-offs, no previous work...

For service implementations to be widely adopted, it is necessary for the expectations of key stakeholders considered. Failure do so may lead services reflecting ideological gaps, which will inadvertently create dissatisfaction among its users. Learning analytics research has begun recognise importance understanding student perspective towards that could potentially offered; however, engagement remains low. Furthermore, there been no attempt explore whether students can segmented into...
