Erik Duval (11 September 1965 – 12 March 2016) was a Belgian computer scientist.[2] Duval chaired the informatics section[3] of the computer science department[4] of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, where he also chaired the research unit on human-computer interaction.[5] His research tried to augment the human intellect.

Life and career[edit]

Duval served on the executive committee of the Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR),[6] as a fellow of the AACE,[7] as a member of ACM, and the IEEE computer society,[8] on the Editorial Review Board and the Executive Advisory Board of the International Journal on E-Learning,[9] as an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies (TLT),[10] on the board of editors of the Journal of Universal Computer Science,[11] and as a member of the informatics section of the Academia Europaea.[12]

Duval co-founded and contributed to Aristo Music Technology (2000) and Atmire (2006).

In the last stages of his research career, Duval and his team were focused on:

  • Capturing user actions for analysis of the user experience (with sensors like brainwave, ECG, eyetracking, … but also software sensors that track what people do)
  • Personal information visualisation, where we try to help users with awareness, reflection, sensemaking, and behaviour change.

Typical application areas for this research included

Selected academic works[edit]

Duval published over 100 papers.[13] A selection of the highly cited ones:[14]

  • 2002, Metadata Principles and Practicalities[15]
  • 2002, IEEE Standard for learning object metadata
  • 2002, Reusable learning objects: a survey of LOM-based repositories[16]
  • 2001, The Ariadne knowledge pool system[17]
  • 2003, A LOM Research Agenda[18]
  • 2007, Social Software for Lifelong learning[19]
  • 2005, Automating metadata generation: the simple indexing interface[20]
  • 2007, Tracking actual usage: the attention metadata approach[21]
  • 2011, Attention please!: learning analytics for visualization and recommendation[22]

Death[edit]

In March 2014, Duval was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. After chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant, a PET scan mid-January 2015 did not show any more traces of the disease.[23] In the summer of 2015, a new diagnose revealed T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.[24] Duval died on March 12, 2016.

Legacy[edit]

To honor the memory of Erik Duval, the Society for Learning Analytics Research created Erik Duval Student Scholarships to provide support for students attending Learning Analytics Summer Institute.[25]

The main auditorium in the Computer Science building of the KU Leuven was named after him, a few months after his death.[26]
