Done in the framework of the Learning Analytics Community Exchange (LACE) project, this interview was shot at the event "Policies for Educational Data Mining and Learning Analytics Briefing" which took place on Wednesday, 15 April 2015, in Brussels, Belgium Learning Analytics.

This one day briefing event was aimed at educational policy-makers, influencers and stakeholders as well as political representatives interested in getting to grips with the current state-of-the art in learning analytics and educational data mining. Those taking part were introduced to the latest developments in this field and the explosion of interest in tools which can be used to measure learning impact. They were also invited to take part in discussions on how best to develop policies related to the fair and ethical use of such data in schools, universities and the workplace. A policy briefing paper summarising the main conclusions and recommendations arising will be published by the LACE consortium following this event.

 
This briefing was organised by the LACE project consortium in collaboration with the PELARS, Lea’s Box and WatchMe project consortia and with the support of European SchoolNet.
