Work in progress - Semantic annotations and teaching analytics on lecture videos in engineering education.

In this paper we discuss work in progress regarding the challenges in education (generation z, smart devices, etc.), especially at technical universities where the teaching staff lack or have very little pedagogical background. One potential way of aiding the instructors who want to improve their teaching practice is through the recording and observation of their own classroom activities (e.g., using video or other sensors), which would enable lecturers analyse their teaching and make informed decisions about any necessary changes in their teaching methods. The present article will give a short overview of related work (teaching analytics and instruments currently used in recording classroom management) and share the steps taken in implementing the approach at Tallinn University of Technology (TUT), Estonia.
