Technology Enhanced Learning is undergoing a significant shift in paradigm towards more data driven systems that will make educational systems more transparent and predictable. Data science and data-driven tools will change the evaluation of educational practice and didactical interventions for individual learners and educational institutions. We summarise these developments and new challenges in the preface of this Special Issue under the keyword dataTEL that stands for ‘Data-Supported Technology-Enhanced Learning’.

This paper raises the issue of missing data sets for recommender systems in Technology Enhanced Learning that can be used asbenchmarks to compare different recommendation approaches. It discusses how suitable data sets could be created according tosome initial suggestions, and investigates a number of steps that may be followed in order to develop reference data sets that willbe adopted and reused within a scientific community. In addition, policies are discussed that are needed to enhance sharing ofdata sets by taking into account legal protection rights. Finally, an initial elaboration of a representation and exchange format forsharable TEL data sets is carried out. The paper concludes with future research needs.
