Defining learning analytics
The measurement, collection, analysis and
reporting of data about learners and their
contexts, for purposes of understanding and
optimizing learning and the environments in
which it occurs.
![Page 3: Learning analytics: planning for the future](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051318/5a66a8837f8b9a3c0e8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Learning analytics help us
to identify and make sense
of patterns in the data
to improve our teaching,
our learning and
our learning environments
![Page 4: Learning analytics: planning for the future](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051318/5a66a8837f8b9a3c0e8b45bd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Priority areas for education and training
4
Open and innovative education and training, fully embracing
the digital era.
Strong support for teachers, trainers, school leaders and
other educational staff
Relevant and high-quality knowledge, skills and
competences developed throughout lifelong learning
Focus on learning outcomes for
employability, innovation, active citizenship and well-being
and inclusive education, equality, equity, non-discrimination
and the promotion of civic competences.

• Safety and wellbeing: all children
and young people are protected
from harm and vulnerable children
are supported to succeed with
opportunities as good as those for
any other child.
• Educational excellence
everywhere: every child and young
person can access high-quality
provision, achieving to the best of
his or her ability regardless of
location, attainment and
background.
• Prepared for adult life: all 19-year-
olds complete school or college
with the skills and character to
contribute to the UK’s society and
economy and are able to access
high-quality work or study options.

•What is the current state of the art?
• What are the prospects for the implementation
of learning analytics?
• What is the potential for European policy to be
used to guide and support the take-up and
adaptation of learning analytics to enhance
education in Europe?
