This scholarship fund is in memory of Dr. Erik Duval (1965-2016), Professor of Computer Science at the University of Leuven and one of the foremost researchers in the field of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) for more than a decade.

LAK Conference Scholarship

The purpose of the SoLAR Conference Scholarship is to support individuals in the field of learning analytics who live and work in regions of the world that are underrepresented at LAK to attend the conference. To increase the diversity of the Society’s membership, we propose soliciting applications for conference scholarships to be awarded to successful applicants.

LAK Doctoral Consortium

Each year the Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference invites emerging scholars (within a doctoral program) in learning analytics by helping them develop productive approaches to studying the intersection of theory, data, and practice. Doctoral Consortium participants will be given the opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in an interdisciplinary and supportive atmosphere, as well as build their professional network with leading researchers.
