High-performance classrooms are characterized by 1:1 computing, high cognitive density, and big data. However, in comparison with most other professionals from whom clients expect rapid decisions in a dynamically changing environment, presently teachers often do not get the information they need for decision making in a timely fashion and in a meaningful and actionable format. Building on the NEXT-TELL project, the TaPTA workshop explores methods and tools to support teachers’ professional vision in 21st century classrooms. This workshop’s ambitious objective is to jumpstart a new learning sciences research stream on teaching analytics by bringing together learning scientists in different sub-fields such as CSCL, ITS, EDM, researchers in Visual Analytics, and data scientists working with “Big Data” in public institutions and private enterprises. In addition to researchers, we are also targeting teachers at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of education to be involved as co-designers and discussants.
