Jivet, I. (author), Scheffel, Maren (author), Schmitz, Marcel (author), Robbers, Stefan (author), Specht, M.M. (author), Drachsler, Hendrik (author)Unequal stakeholder engagement is a common pitfall of adoption approaches of learning analytics in higher education leading to lower buy-in and flawed tools that fail to meet the needs of their target groups. With each design decision, we make assumptions on how learners will make sense of the visualisations, but we know very little about how...journal article 2020

Gordijn, J.M.W. (author), Broekhans, B. (author), Dunn, K.G. (author), Ubacht, J. (author)Peer review is increasingly used in higher education, also at Delft University of Technology. Unfortunately, the potential of student-student feedback often appears to be undervalued, making it less effective. The quality of the reviews is not as good and they are less constructive than expected. Moreover, not all students take giving and or...conference paper 2018

Praharaj, Sambit (author)Attention span of students in a classroom is very short. To overcome this, different active learning methodologies have been used in the past. Active learning keeps the students busy and engaged throughout the lecture. It breaks the lecture into certain time intervals by intermixing breaks, demonstrations and questions after each interval. For...master thesis 2017
