It has been nearly two years since the university-wide Learning Analytics Center was established, and we are pleased to announce our first symposium since its inception: “Aiming for Ideal Learning Analytics: Bridging Research and Practice,” to be held on January 5, 2023. For our keynote speeches, we have invited Professor Ogata from Kyoto University, who established the first Learning Analytics Center under the Faculty of Arts and Science at Kyushu University, and Professor Hironaka from Hiroshima City University, with whom we are currently collaborating to expand research findings in Learning Analytics. In the research reports, in addition to members from Kyushu University, we have invited Mr. Ishii from NTT West, who is supporting our efforts to expand our findings to Hiroshima City University—one of the key objectives of this symposium—to speak from the perspective of social implementation. We have also invited distinguished experts in this field to participate in our panel discussion. We hope you will join us. The symposium will be held in a hybrid format. Please register early if you wish to attend in person, as seating is limited.

Thank you for your interest.
