Technology enhanced learning: A dialogue between the fields of educational data mining, psychometrics and educational psychology

Introduction
During the past decade, educational data mining has emerged to provide positive value to educational improvement, together with conventional academic communities such as educational psychology, psychometrics, among others. Ostensibly, these different strands of research seem to be in conflict: one focus on identifying meaningful patterns in available data versus one structuring and confirming situations to provide evidence. Given their shared goals in enhancing educational practice, this hybrid seminar is formalized to provide a dialogue opportunity for communities of educational psychology, psychometric measurement and educational data mining to recognize the unique attributes of the other, thereby increasing opportunities for collaborative research between these communities.
