“…Our goal is to make use of the tracking data in order to help the participants in exploring their past and ongoing activities on a learning platform. With the technical support of UTL (Usage Tracking Language) (Iksal, 2011) in terms of data analysis and visualization, the participants could not only examine their activities, but also make an assessment of their effectiveness and achievements.…”

Research works from the past ten years have demonstrated that technologies could in many ways enhance learning experience. Meanwhile, technologies can also create obstacles to the latter. For instance, using tracking approaches on the majority of e-learning platforms to monitor learners' activities raises many privacy questions. As for learners, knowing that their personal data are being used, even for educational purposes, they could radically change their perception on e-learning technologies. This paper presents a study on privacy issues in e-learning, based on both existing research findings and an experiment that we have conducted with the participation of students from three universities in France and one university in Germany. The study covers two main aspects. First, it outlines various tracking approaches in e-learning. Second, it analyzes how the participants perceive the use of their tracking data and the related privacy issues. The major contribution of this paper is the awareness-raising of privacy concerns, which are often overlooked by researchers and e-learning content providers.

Every learning situation is designed according to specific instructional objectives. Instructional designers evaluate the correlation between the objectives and the real progress of the learning session by practicing an observation activity. In order to be efficient, the observation must be organized. Our goal in this work aims to provide tools and methods to support the observation activity. That is why we propose the concept of Observing Strategy. In this paper, we present a concrete observation strategy formalization to illustrate our proposition. We also present two processes: the first one focuses on the specification of executable observation strategies by considering the elements of instructional scenario, the links between pedagogical indicators and observation means and the machinereadable format of all this information. The second one focuses on specifying an observation strategy by the user through the manipulation of dedicated tools.

The instructional designers may design learning sessions with tools offered by the Technology Enhanced Learning systems. Any learning situation is designed to follow specific learning objectives. Instructional designers examine the progress of these situations and evaluate the correlation between their deployment and the objectives through an observation activity. We present in this article theoretical and practical studies in order to understand the real needs of instructional designers in organizing their activity of observation. We also present the concept of Observation Strategy to answer the needs of instructional designers for organizing the observation of learning sessions deployed in the TEL systems.
