Learning Analytics is a new field of techniques widely used in a number of communities. Some of them are Statistics, Business Intelligence, Web analytics or Operational research. The use of the Analytics approaches in the context of the learning process is called Learning Analytics (LA). A widely accepted definition of LA, provided at the 2012 International Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge, describes the field as “the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for the purpose of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs” (Siemens & Baker, 2012). The rise of LA comes from the chance of observing and tracking the learners’ activities through log files. Logged data describes who the students are, which activities they carried out and when, and sometimes how and where, they worked. Such intensive data collection produces the so-called Big Data that facilitates the use of data analysis proce...

Analytics in education which constitutes of Learning Analytics and Teaching Analytics arouses great attention among researchers and practitioners in the current climate. The use of analytics in education enables educational data to be collected and analysed to serve the needs of all stakeholders to improve the educational process. The present paper gives an overview of Learning Analytics and Teaching Analytics and explores its similarities and differences, as well as the confusion that has been raised between the two defined terms. Alongside, the analytics selection flowchart presented in this paper provides a breakdown on the analytics research direction for Learning Analytics and Teaching Analytics. A deeper and varied understanding of Learning Analytics and Teaching Analytics is imperative for establishing effective and accurate analytical tools alongside with recommendations for improvement in the future.

Abstract Learning analytics are rapidly being implemented in different educational settings, often without the guidance of a research base. Vendors incorporate analytics practices, models, and algorithms from datamining, business intelligence, and the emerging" big data" fields. Researchers, in contrast, have built up a substantial base of techniques for analyzing discourse, social networks, sentiments, predictive models, and in semantic content (ie," intelligent" curriculum).

Desperately seeking the impact of learning analytics in education at scale: Marrying data analysis with teaching and learning2021 •
2016 •
Learning analytics is an evolving discipline with capability for educational data analysis to enable better understanding of learning processes. This paper reports on learning analytics research at Institute of Technology Blanchardstown, Ireland, that indicated measureable factors can identify first year students at risk of failing based on data available prior to commencement of first year of study. The study was conducted over three years, 2010 to 2012, on a student population from a range of academic disciplines (n=1,207). Data was gathered from both student enrolment data maintained by college administration, and an online, self-reporting tool administered during induction sessions for students enrolling into the first year of study. Factors considered included prior academic performance, personality, motivation, selfregulation, learning approaches, learner modality, age and gender. A k-NN classification model trained on data from the 2010 and 2011 student cohort, and tested on ...

Learning Analytics Lens: Improving Quality of Higher EducationWith digital revolution expansion and a rapid change in the technologies, educational data is increasing at a swift pace. Learning analytics (LA) turns out to be a powerful tool for improving learning and teaching practices. Learning analytics uncover hidden patterns, correlation, and other insights about learners and educators in educational big data that leads them to stay agile, better outcomes, and employability. This literature review aims to categorize such measures of data-driven improvement. A comprehensive review of Learning Analytics (LA) and Educational Data Mining (EDM) and significant techniques in higher education was conducted. Analysis of the research questions, methodology, techniques, learning environment, associated projects, and findings of various published papers is done and is accordingly categorized. Analysis of various reviews on the development and growth of LA in higher education in various countries is also done. The results provide a comprehensive background for understanding current knowledge on LA and EDM and its impact on both learner and instructor in the various learning environment. The results showed that in HEIs, where LA has been implemented aimed at better assessing and predicting learner's performance. It has also helped in monitoring and motivating them, discovering undesirable learning behaviors and their emotional states, help educators and administrators to unlock big data potentials, and making quicker data-driven decisions.
The analysis of data collected from the interaction of users with educational and information technology has attracted much attention as a promising approach for advancing our understanding of the learning process. This promise motivated the emergence of the new research field, learning analytics, and its closely related discipline, educational data mining. This paper first introduces the field of learning analytics and outlines the lessons learned from well-known case studies in the research literature. The paper then identifies the critical topics that require immediate research attention for learning analytics to make a sustainable impact on the research and practice of learning and teaching. The paper concludes by discussing a growing set of issues that if unaddressed, could impede the future maturation of the field. The paper stresses that learning analytics are about learning. As such, the computational aspects of learning analytics must be well integrated within the existing educational research.
