• Abstract: Technology enhanced learning analytics has the potential to play a significant role in higher education in the future. Opinions and expectations towards technology and learning analytics, thus, are vital to consider for institutional developments in higher education institutions. The Sheila framework offers instruments to yield exploratory knowledge about stakeholder aspirations towards technology, such as learning analytics in higher education. The sample of the study consists of students (N = 1169) and teachers (N = 497) at a higher education institution in Germany. Using self-report questionnaires, we assessed students and teachers attitudes towards learning analytics in higher education teaching, comparing ideal and expected circumstances. We report results on the attitudes of students, teachers, as well as comparisons of the two groups and different disciplines. We discuss the results with regard to practical implications for the implementation and further developments of learning analytics in higher education.

  We use Language Models (LMs) as educational experts to assess the impact of various instructions on learning outcomes. We introduce an instruction optimization approach in which one LM generates instructional materials using the judgments of another LM as a reward function. Human teachers' evaluations of these LM-generated worksheets show a significant alignment between the LM judgments and human teacher preferences.

  Learning analytics (LA) is argued to be able to improve learning outcomes, learner support and teaching. There is still little empirical evidence of impact on practice that shows the effectiveness of LA in education settings. We argue that in order to increase the impact of data-driven decision-making aimed at students' improved learning at scale, we need to better understand educators' needs.

  Policy distillation, which transfers a teacher policy to a student policy, has achieved great success in challenging tasks of deep reinforcement learning. In this work, we introduce dual policy distillation(DPD), a student-student framework in which two learners operate on the same environment to explore different perspectives of the environment. The key challenge in developing this dual learning framework is to identify the beneficial knowledge from the peer learner for contemporary learning-based reinforcement learning algorithms.
