• Background: context and a short description of the problem to be addressed
• Research question(s): clear research question(s) to be answered at the hackathon
• Expected outcomes: description of the expected solutions to the research questions

Please submit your paper through the Easychair by 15 December 2019

LIST OF TOPICS

The purpose of submitting a paper proposal is to describe an open research question relevant to the LAK conference and therefore to the LAK Hackathon. We are not looking for finished work. We are not even looking for started work. We are looking for clear challenges that can be the starting points for tasks to be completed at the Hackathon. Each contribution should therefore briefly provide some context for the proposed research question, explain the expected outcomes and objectives that the author wish to be achieved by exploring this question at the LAK Hackathon 2020.

Examples of possible topics, taken from the expected outcomes of LAK Hackathon 2020 include:

• Multimodal Learning Analytics
• Data Interoperability
• Goal setting and analytics
• Analytics in game-based assessment and games for learning
• Curriculum analytics
