2. In the beginning…
Multimedia learning. Richard E. Mayer, 2001, Cambridge Press
Multimedia learning principles
(coherence, signaling, redundancy, spatial and temporal contiguity, segmenting,
pre-training, modality, multimedia, personalization, voice, image)
Clark, Ruth C., and Richard E. Mayer. E-learning and the science of instruction:
Proven guidelines for consumers and designers of multimedia learning. John
Wiley & Sons, 2016

3. The worked-out example principle
Renkl, Alexander. "The worked-out-example principle in multimedia learning."
The Cambridge handbook of multimedia learning (2005): 229-245.

4. The self-explanation principle
Roy, Marguerite, and Michelene TH Chi. "The self-explanation principle in
multimedia learning." The Cambridge handbook of multimedia learning (2005):
271-286.
Renkl, Alexander. "Learning mathematics from worked-out examples: Analyzing
and fostering self-explanations." European Journal of Psychology of Education
14.4 (1999): 477-488.

5. So, we would like to transfer efficient self-
explanation…
…but, it turns out, finding the efficient self-explainers is not that easy.
(Especially if you work fully online…)

6. We need some learning analytics

educational videos." Proceedings of the 27th annual ACM symposium on User
interface software and technology. ACM, 2014.

Education Conference (FIE) Proceedings. IEEE, 2014.

open online courses." 2015 IEEE Pacific Visualization Symposium (PacificVis).

7. There are other benefits, too

8. Existing solutions do not fit our needs

9. Existing solutions do
not fit our needs

(plus some PHP and JavaScript)

10. Collected data is not easy to read…

11. We need a way to visualize it

12. The bad news
The data is extremely noisy and doesn’t capture all that is happening
You need it to correlate it to the content
(Koumi, Jack. Designing video and multimedia for open and flexible learning. Routledge,
2006)
…
And, of course, learning analytics, by itself, is not going to solve the problem
Not everything that can be counted counts.
Not everything that counts can be counted.

13. End of (that) story. Meanwhile…

(and from MySQL to a MongoDB database,
better integrated with the institution’s
datawarehouse)

16. Present@’s features
• Are students watching videos when we expect them to?
• Which students? When? For how long?
• Are there segments that are viewed more? Which ones?
• What’s the student behaviour? Pausing, skipping…
• Does student behaviour correlate in any way to learning / academic
performance?
(Will we finally be able to locate efficient self explainers?)
• …
