Kathryn Bartimote, Australia
University of Sydney
Interest in Learning Analytics (Research Area, etc.) & Interest in serving on the SoLAR Executive Committee: One of my key research themes is theory and learning analytics. On this topic, I am co-editing a forthcoming book with SoLAR colleagues, and co-convene an annual LAK pre-conference workshop where LAK23 will be the 4th edition. I have always been struck by the uniqueness of SoLAR in how it brings together researchers and practitioners, and in the very concrete ways that gender balance is prioritised and valued. It has also been pleasing to see the growth of geographically-based SIGs in recent years, adding to the diversity and strength of our community. If elected to the Committee I will continue to support the extension of our inclusion agenda. One way I hope to do this is via initiatives that enable and encourage even more interdisciplinary engagement with those yet to interact with LA from relevant fields and disciplines. Secondly, given my background in institutional leadership, I am particularly interested to explore how SoLAR might be able to develop mechanisms to further influence policy in jurisdictions and institutions e.g. through position papers, by convening conversations, etc. And thirdly, as part of the Executive I would also be interested to help facilitate joint initiatives across groups e.g. SIGs and Events, and SIGs and Publications.
Biography: Kathryn has been a member of SoLAR’s SIG Working Group since 2020, and is active in interactions with SIG leaders and championing the role of SIGs within the Society. Kathryn was on the organising committee for LAK18 in Sydney, and initiated her university’s institutional membership with SoLAR and continued as its representative until 2022 when she moved from a central institutional leadership role to a regular faculty position. Some notable achievements whilst in the role of Head Quality and Analytics at the University of Sydney (USyd) were delivering an online survey system, the establishment of data access processes, convening twice-yearly roundtable sessions for researchers using university-held student data, and sponsoring a number of institution-wide learning analytics projects of which the most significant was the creation of an educational databank. Since her recent move to the Sydney School of Education and Social Work, Kathryn is now research coordinator at the Centre for Educational Measurement and Assessment (CEMA). She is also deputy chair and chair of two of USyd’s human research ethics committees, and regularly gives seminars and advice across the arts and social sciences on ethics. Kathryn currently teaches in the areas educational leadership, educational psychology, and research methods; and supervises PhD students in the areas of assessment and educational psychology.
Working Group Interests: I would be pleased to continue my involvement in the SIG Working Group, and am interested to contribute to the areas of Events and Publications. I am willing to chair a group.
Okan Bulut, Canada
University of Alberta
Interest in Learning Analytics (Research Area, etc.) & Interest in serving on the SoLAR Executive Committee: As an educational researcher, I strongly believe in the potential impact of learning analytics and innovative learning technologies on the future of our education. Currently, all the courses I teach in the Measurement, Evaluation, and Data Science at the University of Alberta involve a variety of learning analytics applications (e.g., generating automatic feedback for students based on assessment data extracted from our learning management system). Similarly, my research program focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects of learning analytics in K-12 and higher education contexts. My goal is to promote the highest standards of academic research in learning analytics by developing learning analytics projects for diverse stakeholders, including students, instructors, parents, administrators, and other educational practitioners. The Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR) is a well-recognized organization focused on the role and impact of analytics on teaching, learning, training and development. By serving on the SoLAR Executive Committee, I hope to (1) build a stronger connection between the learning analytics community across Canada and the SoLAR community in the upcoming years, (2) play an active role in the promotion of learning analytics applications, and (3) enrich my own understanding of learning analytics by collaborating with colleagues in the SoLAR community.

I’ve developed hundreds of websites with WordPress and would be able to help make sure that we are on solid footing both technically and legally. I have been fortunate to have a large amount of experience working with user privacy and accessibility regulations on both Canadian and US projects. I will be able to help create and connect the pieces that can make the difference between research being celebrated or missed. I truly believe Learning Analytics will become increasingly important, and I hope to be able to help where I can.
*Ioana Jivet, Germany
Goethe University Frankfurt & DIPF
Interest in Learning Analytics (Research Area, etc.) & Interest in serving on the SoLAR Executive Committee: My research focus centres on human aspects of learning analytics. I am particularly interested in designing student-facing LA, understanding learner sense- and decision-making when using LA and the factors that influence these processes. With these insights, we can derive design requirements for adaptive LA interventions for increased goal achievement in diverse learning environments. My curiosity for teaching and learning started with my experience as a member and soft-skills trainer in a European student association with over 3300 volunteers. I served as secretary general on its international board and coordinated the work of different committees. This experience has fueled my interest in building and engaging in a community of like-minded individuals – something I also discovered in SoLAR. I currently serve as Secretary of SoLAR and co-chair the Communications and Website WGs. I am one of the hosts of the SoLAR webinar and manage the monthly newsletter. I would love to continue doing this work in the next two years. I believe that the potential of learning analytics to optimise learning cannot be fulfilled without the involvement of all its stakeholders. As part of the SoLAR Executive Committee, I want to continue working on initiatives that build bridges between teachers, students and researchers, bringing research and practice closer together.
Biography: I am currently Research Coordinator at studiumdigitale at the Goethe University Frankfurt and Associate Researcher at DIPF, Germany. Previously, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Center for Education and Learning based at TU Delft in the Netherlands. After obtaining my Masters degree in Computer Science in 2016 from the same university, I graduated my PhD Cum Laude at the Open University of the Netherlands focusing on designing learner-facing learning analytics dashboards that foster the development of self-regulated learning skills. Over the past years, I have contributed to Competen-SEA, a capacity building project in South-East Asia around MOOCs, and SHEILA, a research project that investigated the adoption of learning analytics in European higher education institutions. At the moment, I work on several projects that use LA to deliver highly-informative formative feedback to students in German higher education.

Adele Smolansky, USA
Cornell University
Interest in Learning Analytics (Research Area, etc.) & Interest in serving on the SoLAR Executive Committee: As the founder of an Educational Technology (EdTech) company and researcher in accessible EdTech, I’m committed to ensuring diverse users are represented in learning analytics research. In my research, I will investigate how children with various cognitive and physical abilities learn, but I also want to raise awareness among other researchers. My goal is for more researchers to be aware of the complex needs of students with disabilities so special needs students are more represented in learning analytics. Within learning analytics, I am interested in researching how EdTech can support learning for diverse students. To optimize EdTech for children with disabilities, I believe we need to understand how a child’s brain changes as they learn and how we can apply artificial intelligence neuroscience to create effective EdTech interventions. For example, I want to research how developmental disorders like autism, dyslexia, and dyscalculia affect brain development and how we can use artificial intelligence to model student learning. By sharing my research and knowledge about how children with disabilities learn, I hope to inspire more individuals to conduct studies with diverse populations. As a member of the SoLAR Executive Committee, I could advocate for people with disabilities.
Biography:My name is Adele Smolansky, and I am an undergraduate senior studying Computer Science at Cornell University. Starting Fall of 2023, I will pursue a PhD at the intersection of education, computer science, and neuroscience to increase our scientific understanding of how children learn and how educational technology can improve student learning outcomes. My younger sister Lara has a severe neurological disability called Rett Syndrome. After my freshman year at Cornell, I founded AI-Learners, an educational technology company that helps kids with disabilities learn math. I’ve seen the great benefits of personalized learning for students with disabilities, but to truly maximize learning outcomes, I believe we need a deep understanding of how to apply artificial intelligence and neuroscience to education. I am now conducting research at two Cornell University research labs. At the Future of Learning Lab, I’m exploring how adaptive EdTech math games can help children with cognitive disabilities learn math. At the Enhancing Ability Lab, I’m investigating the accessibility of EdTech games for students with physical and cognitive disabilities. I’m looking forward to continuing my research in graduate school.
