I’ve just returned from the US where for the last 10 days I’ve been attending the 5th Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) conference, followed by a short trip to visit colleagues at Rutgers University School of Communications and Information. At LAK, I was co-organising a workshop on Temporal analyses of data – [It’s About Time]1 – you can checkout the website and [Twitter hashtag]2 for that.

Then later in the week I presented [a paper on the conceptual grounding for my empirical work]3 in a session on ‘Text and Discourse Analytics’ – a really strong theme throughout this year’s LAK. I got to give a longer reprisal of that paper at Rutgers the following week, to a small informal group from the [School of Communications and Information]4.

There I also spent some time talking to the [infoseeking group]5 about our collaborative work together, and particularly some ideas around analysis of [etherpad-collaboration]6 and sequence analysis. I also got to catch up with Randi Zimmerman (see e.g. [this presentation]7) from the Graduate School of Education, who has very similar research interests to me and it’s always a pleasure to exchange (and build!) ideas with. The talk there can be viewed:
