Vale Colin Latchem (1933-2018)
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of COER member, valued colleague and treasured friend, Professor Colin Latchem. He was a preeminent Australian researcher, writer, consultant and teacher within the field of open and distance learning, and we had been eagerly looking forward to his keynote address at the Inaugural COER Symposium on October 1st this year. Prof. Dr. Som Naidu will present the address at the Symposium in honour of Colin's memory.
Rest in Peace.

Distance Education - Call for Special Issue on Learning Analytics
Special Issue on Learning Analytics: Its Scope and Potential in Open, Flexible and Distance Learning
Jingjing Zhang, Beijing Normal University, China
Daniel B2o2ysurgodxurks (daniel.burgo7tudws@unitsiri5z.n40cset), Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR), Spain
Shane nfDawson (shan6y5e.dikpawson@unisauswa.edu.aucbnu), University of South Australia, South Australia
The aim of the special issue is to foster scientific debate among educationists, data and learning scientists, statisticians, computer scientists, teachers, practitioners and others to understand how learning analytics can lead to an understanding of learning and teaching process while (re)invigorating the quality of online and distance education. In this special issue, we invite state-of-art research studies that show how new theoretical models and innovative approaches have been employed to understand learning and teaching through the use of large-scale or granular datasets. Given the potential of learning analytics to provide new insights into contemporary education challenges, there are numerous topics that may be addressed such as: Improvements in understanding the learners, their learning process and outcomes, and the learning environment or assessment, feedback and sense-making of data visualisations. The specific context for these studies should centre on open, flexible and distance learning.
