oulad

Data loaders for the Open University Learning Analytics Dataset (OULAD), packaged for convenient use in R.

This package provides a reproducible structure for working with the seven core OULAD tables in efficient Parquet format, along with helper functions for loading and filtering them.

Installation

# Install from GitHub# (requires remotes or devtools)remotes::install_github("data-edu/oulad")
# Load the package
library(oulad)

Data Overview

This package mirrors the original OULAD tables:

FunctionDescription
oulad::assessments()Assessment structure and key dates
oulad::courses()Module and presentation metadata
oulad::studentAssessment()Student submissions and assessment results
oulad::studentInfo()Demographics, age band, region, etc.
oulad::studentRegistration()Student module registration records
oulad::vle()Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) materials and release info
oulad::studentVle()Large log of student interactions with VLE materials

How to Load the Data

library(oulad)
assessments<-oulad::assessments()
courses<-oulad::courses()
student_assess<-oulad::studentAssessment()
student_info<-oulad::studentInfo()
student_reg<-oulad::studentRegistration()
vle<-oulad::vle()
student_vle<-oulad::studentVle()

How to Join the Data

library(oulad) library(dplyr)
students<-student_info %>% left_join(courses) %>% left_join(student_reg)
assessments<-student_assess %>% left_join(assessments)
interactions<-student_vle %>%
left_join(vle) %>%
left_join(courses)

Developers

The raw OULAD CSV files are not distributed with this package because of their size.
To rebuild the Parquet files locally, first download the dataset from the official OULAD site:

Download source:
https://analyse.kmi.open.ac.uk/open-dataset

Then, place the CSVs under data-raw/csv/ and run:

source("data-raw/make-extdata.R")

This script will convert the CSVs into compressed Parquet files under inst/extdata/ for fast access in R.
These files are ignored by version control (see .Rbuildignore).

Developers
The raw OULAD CSV files are not distributed with this package
because of their size.

To rebuild the Parquet files locally, first download the dataset from
the official OULAD site:
Download source:
https://analyse.kmi.open.ac.uk/open-dataset
Then, place the CSVs under data-raw/csv/ and run:
source("data-raw/make-extdata.R")
This script will convert the CSVs into compressed Parquet files under
inst/extdata/ for fast access in R.

These files are ignored by version control (see .Rbuildignore).

oulad
Data loaders for the Open University Learning Analytics Dataset
(OULAD), packaged for convenient use in R.
This package provides a reproducible structure for working with the
seven core OULAD tables in efficient Parquet format, along with helper
functions for loading and filtering them.
Installation
# Install from GitHub# (requires remotes or devtools)remotes::install_github("data-edu/oulad")
# Load the package
library(oulad)
Data Overview
This package mirrors the original OULAD tables:
FunctionDescription
oulad::assessments()Assessment structure and key dates
oulad::courses()Module and presentation metadata
oulad::studentAssessment()Student submissions and assessment results
oulad::studentInfo()Demographics, age band, region, etc.
oulad::studentRegistration()Student module registration records
oulad::vle()Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) materials and release info
oulad::studentVle()Large log of student interactions with VLE materials
How to Load the Data
library(oulad)
assessments<-oulad::assessments()
courses<-oulad::courses()
student_assess<-oulad::studentAssessment()
student_info<-oulad::studentInfo()
student_reg<-oulad::studentRegistration()
vle<-oulad::vle()
student_vle<-oulad::studentVle()
How to Join the Data
library(oulad) library(dplyr)
students<-student_info %>% left_join(courses) %>% left_join(student_reg)
assessments<-student_assess %>% left_join(assessments)
interactions<-student_vle %>%
left_join(vle) %>%
left_join(courses)
