Dear all,
Join us for the 14th International Learning Analytics and
Knowledge Conference, March 18-22, 2024, in Kyoto, Japan. We are
very excited to be offering LAK24 for the first time in Asia!

GENERAL CALL
The 2024 edition of The International Conference on Learning
Analytics & Knowledge (LAK24) will take place in Kyoto, Japan.
LAK24 is organized by the Society for Learning Analytics Research
(SoLAR) with Kyoto University. LAK24 is a collaborative effort by
learning analytics researchers and practitioners to share the most
rigorous cutting edge work in learning analytics.
The theme for the 14th annual LAK conference is Learning Analytics
in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence has
been relevant for learning analytics since the early days of the
field. This has mostly been manifested by building upon the
algorithms of machine learning to analyze data about learners and
learning environments. The conversations about artificial
intelligence in education used to be mostly contained within
specialized communities of practitioners and researchers. Since
late 2022, this has rapidly changed. Discourse in mainstream media
and among the general public has been dominated by the coverage of
the developments in generative artificial intelligence. The
notable examples are such technologies as ChatGPT and DALL-E that
harness the power of deep learning algorithms to generate
impressively human-like text and images based on relatively simple
human prompts. These technologies have given some glimpses about
the emerging age of artificial intelligence. The prominence of
artificial intelligence has also opened profound debates about
implications on education from the need to develop relevant
literacies to work with artificial intelligence to challenging the
established notions of assessment in education. Through the theme
of the 14th annual LAK conference, we encourage the authors to
consider implications for learning analytics and the role the
field can play in the age of artificial intelligence.
The LAK conference is intended for both researchers and
practitioners. We invite both researchers and practitioners of
learning analytics to come and join a proactive dialogue around
the future of learning analytics and its practical adoption. We
further extend our invite to educators, leaders, administrators,
government and industry professionals interested in the field of
learning analytics and its related disciplines.
We welcome submissions from both research and practice,
encompassing different theoretical, methodological, empirical and
technical contributions to the learning analytics field. Learning
analytics research draws on many distinct academic fields,
including psychology, the learning sciences, education,
neuroscience, computer science and design. We encourage the
submission of work conducted in any of these traditions, as long
as it is done rigorously. We also welcome research that validates,
replicates and examines the generalizability of previously
published findings, as well as examines aspects of adoption of
existing learning analytics methods and approaches.
Specifically, this year, we encourage contributors to consider
learning analytics in the age of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence offers novel technologies that can be
useful for addressing important problems in learning analytics
from analysis of large amounts of data to assessment and to
generation of personalized feedback. Artificial intelligence sets
the new context in education that has triggered many to take
relevant steps to adapt from the ways we generate content to the
ways we design assessments and to the types of skills we need to
develop. Adaptation to this new context requires fundamental
research about implications on learning, teaching, and education,
and learning analytics can play a considerable role.
Authors should note that:
· SoLAR recognizes the importance of open, accessible,
reproducible, repeatable, and replicable data and analyses
approaches. SoLAR also recognizes a diversity of epistemological,
ethical, and legal challenges and opportunities which such
approaches face.
· The LAK conference has received a CORE ranking of A (top 16.41%
of all 792 ranked venues).
· LAK is the only conference in the top 20 Google Scholar citation
ranks for educational technology publications.
