Class Digital Assessment and Learning Analysis

Digital Assessment and Learning Analytics is an optional course unit of the scientific area SD, semiannual (1st semester), with 6 ECTS and 168 hours of total workload, of which 30 hours are face-to-face contact hours (TP). Its scope centres on the theoretical and practical principles of analysis and assessment in digital education. The field of action is digital learning assessment; the area of practice is educational data analysis (datafication) and formative and summative assessment in computing education contexts. The domains of intervention include digital assessment models and frameworks, digital assessment tools, ethical and secure data collection and analysis practices, and assessment design in hybrid and online settings. Its relevance stems from preparing teachers able to select information and apply digital tools to assess and support pedagogical decisions in face-to-face and online learning communities.
