4. Personal analytics: What for?
- To find ways to improve your behaviour (self-tracking,
quantified self)
- For transparency on security and privacy (privacy mirror,
translucent systems)
- To learn from it

learners and the people helping them in making more effective use of online resources,
platforms and networks according to their own goals.

20. Scenario
Jane is 37 and works as an administrative assistant in a local medium-sized company. As a hobbies, she enjoyed sewing and cycling in the local
forests. She is also interested in business management, and is considering either developing in her current job to a more senior level or making a
career change.
Jane spends a lot of time online at home and at her job. She has friends on facebook with whom she shares and discusses local places to go biking,
and others with whom she discusses sewing techniques and possible projects, often through sharing youtube videos.
Jane also follows MOOCs and forums related to business management, on different topics. She often uses online resources such as Wikipedia and
online magazine on the topics. At school, she was not very interested in maths, which is needed if she want to progress in her job. She is therefore
registered on Didactalia, connecting to resources and communities on maths, especially statistics.
Jane has also decided to take her learning seriously: She has registered to use the AFEL dashboard through the Didactalia interface. She has also
installed the browser extension to include her browsing history, as well as the facebook app. She has not included in her dashboard her emails, as
they are mostly related to her current job, or twitter, since she rarely uses it.
Jane looks at the dashboard more or less once a day, as she is prompted by a notification from the AFEL smartphone application or from the
facebook app, to see how she has been doing the previous day in her online social learning. It might for example say “It looks like you progressed
well with sewing yesterday! See how you are doing on other topics…”
Jane, as she looks at the dashboard, realises that she has been focusing a lot on her hobbies and procrastinated on the topics she enjoys less,
especially statistics. Looking specifically at statistics, she realises that she almost only works on it in Friday evenings, because she feels guilty of not
having done much during the week. She also sees that she is not putting as much effort into her learning of statistics as other learners, and not
making as much progress. She therefore makes a conscious decision to put more focus on it. She adds the dashboard goals of the form “to work on
statistics during my lunch break every week day” or “to have achieved a 10% progress compared to now by the same time next week”. The
dashboard will remind her how she is doing against those goals as she go about her usual online social learning activities. She also gets
recommendation of things to do on Didactalia and Facebook based on the indicators shown on the dashboard and her stated goals.

learning” -- AFEL Deliverable 4.1, [CK08]
30. Identified types of constructive frictions, indicators of
learning (in a given learning scope)
- Coverage: Most obvious indicator. How much of the concepts
covered by the given learning scope (topic) have been covered by
captured learning activities.
- Complexity: How the learner difficult at the resources used by the
learner in exploring this learning scope.
- Diversity: How diverse the resources and activities used by the
learner have been in the given learning scope.

39. Conclusion
Web Science, including web analytics, social media analysis,
learning analytics, is mostly about what a lot of people do in a
limited context.
Personal (learning) analytics is about analysing what one
person does over a large variety of contexts, for their own
benefits (efficiency, self-improvement, privacy monitoring).
There are many technological challenges to achieve this.
There are also many non-technological challenges regarding
how we use this (transparency, self-governance, control, etc.)
