State of the art by sector

• Awareness raising

• Less solutions & little use

• Vendor interests

• High demand on privacy

• No systematic use of data

• Widespread interest (Management, Researchers, Teachers) • Some substantive take-up• More reporting data than taking action on data• Probably most advanced sector

• Bridging ind. communities

• KPIs• Continuous

improvement & need for LA

• Process standardisation

Learning analytics:A. Improve learning outcomes.B. Improve learning support and teaching

(including retention, completion and progression).

C. Are taken up and used widely(including deployment at scale).

Eight Visions of the Future

1. Learners are monitored by their learning environments

2. Learners’ personal data are tracked

3. Analytics are rarely used4. Learners control their

own data

5. Open systems are widely adopted

6. Learning analytics are essential tools

7. Analytics help learners make the right choices

8. Analytics have largely replaced teachers
