Data-Driven Learning in Informal Contexts? Embracing Broad Data-Driven Learning (BDDL) Research

Abstract

Despite the potential for the implementation of customized, individualized DDL, we know very little about the use of DDL in informal learning contexts. This chapter explores how a reconceptualization of prototypical DDL can favour the spread of DDL approaches to language learning in informal learning. I claim that it is essential that we pursue an analysis of the role of DDL in a broader language learning context (Pérez-Paredes & Mark, 2021) that includes digital learning, engagement with new digital literacies and what I describe in this chapter as broad data-driven learning (BDDL).
