Work description

 

The candidate will be a member of the Information Systems and Software Engineering research group and work with the "FUTURE LEARNING: Orchestrating 21^st Century Learning Ecosystems using Analytics" project.

FUTURE LEARNING is a Norwegian Research Council funded project under Research and Innovation in the Educational Sector (FINNUT) program. FUTURE LEARNING aims at producing research that contributes towards the orchestration of multiple technologies to support better learning and teaching, and contributes to the growing international research literature. Our interdisciplinary and international team will carry out empirical-oriented research to develop new knowledge about how analytics allow us to better orchestrate different e-learning tools and learning practices. FUTURE LEARNING focuses: a) on an analysis of the prior empirical and theoretical knowledge to address requirements for efficient learning orchestration and b) iteratively develop, use and evaluate a framework for efficient orchestration of 21st century learning ecosystems. In particular, the proposed research seeks to explore, with both qualitative and quantitative data sources, practical and technical knowledge for improving 21st century learning ecosystems.

 

The Post-Doctoral Researcher's responsibility will include the following task:

• Definition of practicable approaches for the overall system architecture and a specification of main services in collaborations with our international partners

• Plan, conduct, analyze and write up for publication research on a topic related to the use and/or impact of learning analytics on teaching and learning.

• Together, these objectives will lead to the development of a comprehensive system of data collection and analysis that supports planning as well as evaluation/assessment at numerous levels.

 

The position requires strong English oral and writing skills as the candidate will be interacting with a team of international researcher and the job will include progress reports in English.
