• Abstract: This chapter aims to stress the importance of addressing culture when designing and implementing learning analytics services. Learning analytics have been implemented in different countries with the purpose of improving learning and supporting teaching; yet, largely at a limited scale and so far with limited evidence of achieving their purpose. Even though some solutions seem promising, their transfer from one country to another might prove challenging and sometimes impossible due to various technical, social, contextual and cultural factors. In this chapter, we argue for a need to carefully consider one of these factors, namely cultural values when designing and implementing learning analytics systems. Viewing culture from a value-sensitive perspective, in this chapter, we: 1)exemplify two selected values (i.e. privacy and autonomy) that might play a significant role in the design of learning analytics systems, and 2)discuss opportunities for applying culture-and value-sensitive design methods that can guide the design of culturally aware learning analytics systems. Finally, a set of design implications for culturally aware and value-sensitive learning analytics services is offered.

  We introduce CROPE, a visual question answering benchmark designed to probe the knowledge of culture-specific concepts. Our evaluation of several state-of-the-art open Vision and Language models shows large performance disparities between culture-specific and common concepts. Experiments with contextual knowledge indicate that models struggle to effectively utilize multimodal information and bind culture-specific concepts to their depictions.

  We focus on extrinsic evaluation of cultural competence in two text generation tasks. We evaluate model outputs when an explicit cue of culture, specifically nationality, is perturbed in the prompts. We find weak correlations between text similarity of outputs for different countries and the cultural values of these countries.

It generates high-quality cross-cultural dialogues encapsulating human beliefs, norms, and customs. We evaluate these models across three downstream tasks: content moderation, cultural alignment, and cultural education.

• Introducing Practicable Learning Analytics [0.0]
  This book introduces the concept of practicable learning analytics to illuminate what learning analytics may look like from the perspective of practice. We use the concept of Information Systems Artifact (ISA) which comprises three interrelated subsystems: the informational, the social and the technological artefacts. The ten chapters in this book are presented and reflected upon from the ISA perspective, clarifying that detailed attention to the social artefact is critical to the design of practicable learning analytics.
