LeAP – Learning Analytics Profiles

LeAP (Learning Analytics Profiles) hat zum Ziel, eine ganzheitliche und nachhaltige Learning Analytics Lösung in die bestehenden Systeme der Universität Mannheim zu integrieren. Dabei sollen Lern-Lehr-Prozessen an der Universität Mannheim unterstützt werden.

Die einzelnen Komponenten des LeAP-Systems wurden modular entwickelt und bestehen aus einem eigenständigen Kern­system, das als Datenspeicher fungiert und kleineren Adaptern, die in andere Systeme, wie zum Beispiel ILIAS integriert werden. Diese Adapter funktionieren ähnlich wie Google Analytics oder Piwik, sie sammeln die Nutzerbewegungen in den eingebundenen Systemen und leiten diese an das LeAP-Kern­system weiter (Klasen & Ifenthaler, 2019).

Um den hohen Sicherheits­bestimmungen um die Verwednung von LeAP zu genügen, wird der jeweilige Personenbezug doppelt pseudonymisieret (Klasen & Ifenthaler, 2019). Über den alleinigen Zugriff auf die Datenbank, können keine Rückschlüsse auf die konkrete Person gezogen, aber dennoch weitere personenbezogene Informationen (z.B. Noten, sozio-demografische Daten, psychologische Inventarien) demselben Pseudonym zugeordnet werden.
