The Interactive Data Exploration and Analytics (IDEA) lab course offered at the UDE Social Computing Group focuses on the effective integration of techniques from human-computer interaction (HCI), information visualization, and machine learning to help users interactively explore data.
The aim of this semester's IDEA lab is to provide the foundation for an Exploratory Learning Analytics Toolkit for Students (ELAS) to support UDE students in their learning activities. In the previous iterations of the Learning Analytics (LA), Advanced Web Technologies (AdvWebTech), and Learning Analytics and Visual Analytics (LAVA) courses offered at the SoCo Group, different LA applications were developed as part of student projects (see the student projects section below). The task in this semester’s IDEA lab will be to improve, adapt, and integrate selected applications into the ELAS platform.
You will organize yourselves into groups of 4-5 students. In the first few weeks of the lab, we will provide a general overview of the ELAS platform, introduce the Web technologies used in ELAS (e.g. React, Flask, Axios, MongoDB, visualization libraries), and give tutorials on how to get started with the project. There will be weekly project management meetings to answer your questions and guide you with additional materials. We will also have regular sessions where you will present the progress of your projects (ideas/concepts, prototypes, demos, end product).
Grading for this lab will be based on the content and quality of the project (code, demos, presentations) as well as your performance (project management, collaboration, class participation, creativity) during the project.
