Item Data-Driven Learning Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: A Systematic Review(IEEE, 2025-09-29) González-Pérez, Laura Icela; García-Peñalvo, Francisco José; Argüelles-Cruz, Amadeo JoséThe responsible integration of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) offers a strategic opportunity to align learning environments with the principles of Society 5.0, fostering human–technology synergy in support of quality education and social well-being. This study presents a systematic review of 36 peer-reviewed articles (2021–2025) focused on educational appli-cations that employ learning analytics (LA) through data-driven approaches and integrate machine learning (ML) models as part of their empirical evidence. Each study was analyzed according to three key dimensions: the context of AIED application, the data-driven approach adopted, and the ML model implemented. The findings reveal a persistent disconnect between the AI models employed and the available educational data, which in many cases are limited to access logs or manually recorded grades that fail to capture deeper cognitive processes. This limitation constrains both the effective training of ML models and their pedagogical utility for delivering meaningful interventions such as personalized learning pathways, real-time feedback, early detection of learning difficulties, and monitoring and visualization tools. Another significant finding is the absence of psychopeda-gogical frameworks integrated with quality standards and data governance, which are essential for advancing prescriptive and ethical approaches aligned with learning goals. It is therefore recommended that educational leaders foster AIED applications grounded in data governance and ethics frameworks, ensuring valid and reliable metrics that can drive a more equitable and inclusive education.Item Explainable Rules and Heuristics in AI Algorithm Recommendation Approaches—A Systematic Literature Review and Mapping Study(Tech Science Press, 2023-02-06) García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Vázquez-Ingelmo, A.; García-Holgado, A.The exponential use of artificial intelligence (AI) to solve and automated complex tasks has catapulted its popularity generating some challenges that need to be addressed. While AI is a powerful means to discover interesting patterns and obtain predictive models, the use of these algorithms comes with a great responsibility, as an incomplete or unbalanced set of training data or an unproper interpretation of the models’ outcomes could result in misleading conclusions that ultimately could become very dangerous. For these reasons, it is important to rely on expert knowledge when applying these methods. However, not every user can count on this specific expertise; non-AI-expert users could also benefit from applying these powerful algorithms to their domain problems, but they need basic guidelines to obtain the most out of AI models. The goal of this work is to present a systematic review of the literature to analyze studies whose outcomes are explainable rules and heuristics to select suitable AI algorithms given a set of input features. The systematic review follows the methodology proposed by Kitchenham and other authors in the field of software engineering. As a result, 9 papers that tackle AI algorithm recommendation through tangible and traceable rules and heuristics were collected. The reduced number of retrieved papers suggests a lack of reporting explicit rules and heuristics when testing the suitability and performance of AI algorithms.Item KoopaML, a Machine Learning platform for medical data analysis(Brazilian Computing Society (SBC), 2022-08-20) García-Holgado, A.; Vázquez-Ingelmo, A.; Alonso-Sánchez, J.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Therón, R.; Sampedro-Gómez, J.; Sánchez-Puente, A.; Vicente-Palacios, V.; Dorado-Díaz, P. I..; Sánchez, P. L.Machine Learning allows facing complex tasks related to data analysis with big datasets. This Artificial Intelligence branch allows not technical contexts to get benefits related to data processing and analysis. In particular, in medicine, medical professionals are increasingly interested in Machine Learning to identify patterns in clinical cases and make predictions regarding health issues. However, many do not have the necessary programming or technological skills to perform these tasks. Many different tools focus on developing Machine Learning pipelines, from libraries for developers and data scientists to visual tools for experts or platforms to learn. However, we have identified some requirements in the medical context that raise the need to create a customized platform adapted to end-user found in this context. This work describes the design process and the first version of KoopaML, an ML platform to bridge the data science gaps of physicians while automatizing Machine Learning pipelines. The platform is focused on enhanced interactivity to improve the engagement of physicians while still providing all the benefits derived from the introduction of Machine Learning pipelines in medical departments, as well as integrated ongoing training during the use of the tool’s featuresItem Enabling adaptability in web forms based on user characteristics detection through A/B testing and machine learning(IEEE, 2018-02-14) Cruz-Benito, J.; Vázquez-Ingelmo, A.; Sánchez-Prieto, J. C.; Therón, R.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Martín-González, M.This paper presents an original study with the aim of improving users' performance in completing large questionnaires through adaptability in web forms. Such adaptability is based on the application of machine-learning procedures and an A/B testing approach. To detect the user preferences, behavior, and the optimal version of the forms for all kinds of users, researchers built predictive models using machine-learning algorithms (trained with data from more than 3000 users who participated previously in the questionnaires), extracting the most relevant factors that describe the models, and clustering the users based on their similar characteristics and these factors. Based on these groups and their performance in the system, the researchers generated heuristic rules between the different versions of the web forms to guide users to the most adequate version (modifying the user interface and user experience) for them. To validate the approach and con rm the improvements, the authors tested these redirection rules on a group of more than 1000 users. The results with this cohort of users were better than those achieved without redirection rules at the initial stage. Besides these promising results, the paper proposes a future study that would enhance the process (or automate it) as well as push its application to other eldsItem Smart Learning(MDPI, 2020-10-06) García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Casado-Lumbreras, C.; Colomo-Palacios, R.; Yadav, A.Artificial intelligence applied to the educational field has a vast potential, especially after the effects worldwide of the COVID-19 pandemic. Online or blended educational modes are needed to respond to the health situation we are living in. The tutorial effort is higher than in the traditional face-to-face approach. Thus, educational systems are claiming smarter learning technologies that do not pretend to substitute the faculty but make their teaching activities easy. This Special Issue is oriented to present a collection of papers of original advances in educational applications and services propelled by artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning, and deep learningItem PI: Generación automática de interfaces software para el soporte a la toma de decisiones. Aplicación de ingeniería de dominio y machine learning(Grupo GRIAL, 2019-06-02) Vázquez-Ingelmo, A.PLAN DE INVESTIGACIÓN PROGRAMA DE DOCTORADO EN INGENIERÍA INFORMÁTICA UNIVERSIDAD DE SALAMANCAItem Adoption of media by European scientists for the creation of scientific transmedia storytelling(ACM, 2017-10-18) Sánchez-Holgado, P.; Arcila-Calderón, C.The purpose of this paper is to show a research plan on the adoption of user-generated media for the creation of scientific transmedia storytelling. The transmedia universe, currently becoming one of the most widely used generalist content dissemination strategies, has hardly any previous experiences in science communication. Its potential is enormous and to integrate it the scientist assumes a participant and active role in the transfer of knowledge to the society, spreading its work strategically by all communication media available. When it is time to study the role of the European scientist in this transmedia context, the first problem we encountered is its own implication. For this purpose, this study is based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technologies (UTAUT) model, which proposes that the intention to adopt technologies and the real adoption are positively influenced by the performance expectancy and negatively by the effort expectancy. We will investigate the current degree of media use through a questionnaire and will develop a group experiment with stimuli, to test the causality of the variables. The final objective of the research will be to know the effect of the variables on the actual use of the media and potentially to open new ways in scientific communication towards the scientific transmedia storytelling, as part of the work of the researchers, to reach a greater amount of public access to scientific knowledge.Item Modelos de Estimación del Software Basados en Técnicas de Aprendizaje Automático(2013-05-07) Moreno García, M.
