It's about time: purpose, methods, and challenges of temporal analyses of multiple data streams

Published:29 June 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

Recent studies of learning have involved concurrent collection of multiple types of data (e.g., computer activity logs and online discussion) or have applied multi-dimensional coding, resulting in related data streams. These data highlight the dynamic nature of learning and require analyses from a temporal perspective. This workshop explores issues emerging from integrating data streams by identifying a set of analytic difficulties researchers commonly face, and illustrating the application of specific methods that address these challenges.
