Learning is a multimodal process, and learning analytics (LA) researchers can readily access rich learning process data from multiple modalities, including audio-video recordings or transcripts of in-person interactions; logfiles and messages from online activities; and biometric measurements such as eye-tracking, movement, and galvanic skin…

Collaboration skills are fundamental to effective collaborative learning, career success, and responsible citizenship. Collaborative learning analytics (CLA) systems hold significant potential in helping students develop these skills by automatically collecting group interaction data, analyzing skill levels, and providing actionable feedback so…

This article investigates the state of AI regulations from diverse geopolitical contexts including the European Union, the United States, China, and several African nations, and their implications for learning analytics (LA) and AI research. We used a comparative analysis approach of 11 AI regulatory documents and applied the OECD framework to…

Learning analytics (LA) adoption is a challenging task for higher education institutions (HEIs) since it involves different aspects of the academic environment, such as information technology infrastructure, human resource management, ethics, and pedagogical issues. Therefore, it is necessary to provide institutions with supporting instruments to…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has opened new possibilities for designing learning analytics (LA) tools, gaining new insights about student learning processes and their environment, and supporting teachers in assessing and monitoring students. This systematic literature review maps the empirical research of 41 papers utilizing GenAI…

Learning Analytics (LA) is increasingly applied to assess and foster creativity in educational settings. Whereas existing applications have shown promise in STEM contexts, less is known about the diversity of approaches across educational domains. Therefore, we conducted a scoping review that systematically mapped LA applications for creativity in…

Despite the increasing availability of data used to inform educational policies and practices, concerns persist regarding its quality and accessibility. This study surveys quality education data from Brazil, Colombia, and Peru and evaluates their alignment with the FAIR principles and availability to support academic analytics (AA) and learning…

Learning has a temporal characteristic in nature, which means that it occurs over the passage of time. The research on the temporal aspects of learning faces several challenges, one of which is utilizing appropriate analytical techniques to exploit the temporal data. There is no coherent guide to selecting certain temporal techniques to lead to…

The theory of socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL) suggests that successful collaborative groups can identify and respond to trigger events stemming from cognitive or emotional obstacles in learning. Thus, to develop real-time support for SSRL, novel metrics are needed to identify different types of trigger events that invite SSRL. Our…

The advent of advanced technology has opened new horizons for studying collaborative learning, although ambiguity remains in the classification and rationale for combining modalities in multimodal collaboration analytics (MMCA). Addressing this gap is crucial for the progression of collaborative learning practices and research. This review…

Even before the inception of the term "learning analytics," researchers globally had been investigating the use of various feedback systems to support the self-regulation of participation and promote equitable contributions during collaborative learning activities. While some studies indicate positive effects for distinct subgroups of…

This single-site case study will seek to answer the following question: how is the concept of privacy addressed in relation to a student success information system within a small, public institution of higher education? Three themes were found within the inductive coding process, which used interviews, documentation, and videos as data resources.…

This paper explores the integration of generative AI (GenAI) in the feedback process in higher education through a learning analytics (LA) tool, examined from a feedback literacy perspective. Feedback literacy refers to students' ability to understand, evaluate, and apply feedback effectively to improve their learning, which is crucial for…

Effective learning design (LD) grounded in sound pedagogy is a critical driver of student success. Therefore, it is important to explore how LD of online learning environments influences student ability to manage their own learning. This understanding can inform the development of online programs that prioritize student-driven learning. Research…

This scoping review aims to provide an overview of how multimodal learning analytics has been applied in K-8 research and offers methodological insights and recommendations to bridge the gap between theory and practice. We identified 14 peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2011 and 2023 through searches in relevant databases and…
