LAK25 Workshop: Transmodal Analysis: A New Conceptual and Methodological Framework for Multimodal Learning Analytics

lak25


Workshop Description

March 4, 2025 | 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

​​Multimodal data integration is one of the major analytical challenges for Multimodal Learning Analytics (MMLA). Continuing conversations begun in previous LAK CROSSMMLA workshops, this workshop will focus on a relatively new conceptual and methodological framework, Transmodal Analysis (TMA), that potentially addresses the data integration challenge by using a functions-not-fusion approach.

In this workshop, TMA adopters, MMLA methodologists, and learning scientists will discuss the affordances and challenges of this new approach. Participants will gain hands-on experience and learn how to use TMA on their own multimodal data. This workshop, thus, provides a venue for the MMLA SIG and others interested in MMLA to exchange expertise and develop future collaborations.

Workshop Events:

During this full-day workshop, up to 30 participants will (a) learn about the conceptual and methodological underpinnings of TMA, (b) hear from 7 MMLA scholars who have used TMA about their findings and experiences, (c) develop TMA models using their own multimodal data, and (d) participate in a facilitated discussion of the affordances of TMA and opportunities for further methodological development. Participants, regardless of analytical skill level and epistemological stance toward multimodal learning analytics, will be able to participate in all aspects of the workshop.

Workshop Submission:

To maximize the benefits of this full-day workshop, you are required to submit a short abstract (up to 250 words) through EasyChair. Your abstract should answer the following questions:

  • What kinds of multimodal interactions or multimodal analysis techniques are you interested in?
  • What multimodal analytics methods have you used (e.g., multimodal discourse analysis, multimodal machine learning, etc.)?
  • What questions do you have about analyzing multimodal data? What challenges do you face in your own multimodal analyses?
  • Optionally, do you have questions for specific workshop facilitators or panelists?
