• Abstract: Educational Technology (EdTec) research is conducted by multiple disciplines, some of which annually meet at the DELFI conference. Due to the heterogeneity of involved researchers and communities, it is our goal to identify categories of research data overseen in the context of EdTec research. Therefore, we analyze the author's perspective provided via EasyChair where authors specified whether they had research data to share. We compared this information with an analysis of the submitted articles and the contained research data. We found that not all research data was recognized as such by the authors, especially software and qualitative data, indicating a prevailing lack of awareness, and other potential barriers. In addition, we analyze the 2024 DELFI proceedings to learn what kind of data was subject to research, and where it is published. This work has implications for training future generations of EdTec researchers. It further stresses the need for guidelines and recognition of research data publications (particularly software, and qualitative data).

  This position paper proposes a data-centric viewpoint of AI research, focusing on large language models (LLMs) We make the key observation that data is instrumental in the developmental (e.g., pretraining and fine-tuning) and inferential stages (e.g., in-context learning) of LLMs. We identify four specific scenarios centered around data, covering data-centric benchmarks and data curation, data attribution, knowledge transfer, and inference contextualization.
