Predictive analytics in higher education has become increasingly popular in recent years with the growing availability of educational big data. Particularly, a wealth of student activity data is available from learning management systems (LMSs) in most academic institutions. However, previous investigations into predictive analytics in higher…

No course exists in isolation, so examining student progression through courses within a broader program context is an important step in integrating course-level and program-level analytics. Integration in this manner allows us to see the impact of course-level changes to the program, as well as identify points in the program structure where…

Teaching students per their aptitude and individualized training is the focus of the world's attention, and it is also one of the eight major concepts of Chinese education. Based on the Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index database, this paper systematically analyzed the concept and connotation of personalized learning in China. Meanwhile, it…

The increasing use of digital learning tools and platforms in formal and informal learning settings has provided broad access to large amounts of learner data, the analysis of which has been aimed at understanding students' learning processes, improving learning outcomes, providing learner support as well as teaching. Presently, such data has been…

For the last one decade, research in self-regulated learning (SRL) and educational psychology has proliferated. Researchers and educators have focused on how to support leaners grow their SRL skills on both face-to-face and e-learning environments. In addition, recent studies and meta-analysis have greatly contributed to the domain knowledge on…

Analysis of user-generated data (for example process data from logfiles, learning analytics, and data mining) in computer-based environments has gained much attention in the last decade and is considered a promising evolving field in learning sciences. In the area of educational assessment, the benefits of such data and how to exploit them are…

The growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has affected higher education in a dramatic way, shifting the norms of teaching and learning. With these shifts come major ethical questions relating to surveillance, exacerbated social inequality, and threats to job security. This article overviews some of the discourses that are developing…

The article is focusing on aspects related to technology acceptance of LA in the context of school education. A survey that was based on the Technology Acceptance Model was distributed to 98 participants who work as schoolteachers and/or local educational policymakers and are geographically dispersed across two different European countries. The…

Using data to generate a deeper understanding of collaborative learning is not new, but automatically analyzing log data has enabled new means of identifying key indicators of effective collaboration and teamwork that can be used to predict outcomes and personalize feedback. Collaboration analytics is emerging as a new term to refer to…

The understanding of online classroom talk is a challenge even with current technological advancements. To determine the quality of ideas in classroom talk for individual and groups of students, a new approach such as precision education will be needed to integrate learning analytics and machine learning techniques to improve the quality of…

This study analyzed students' online assignment submission behaviors from the perspectives of temporal learning analytics. This study aimed to model the time-dependent changes in the assignment submission behavior of university students by employing various machine learning methods. Precisely, clustering, Markov Chains, and association rule mining…

This mixed research aims to design and implement the Web Application on Bayes' Theorem (WABT) in the Statistical Instrumentation for Business subject. WABT presents the procedure to calculate the probability of Bayes' Theorem through the simulation of data about the supply of products. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), machine learning and data…

Effective use of learning analytics systems has been purported to confer various benefits to learners in terms of both attainment and retention. There is, however, little agreement on which data are meaningful or useful. Whilst measures of engagement might correlate with outcomes, thereby retrospectively 'predicting' them, there are fewer studies…

This paper is based on: (1) a literature review focussing on the impact of learning analytics on supporting learning and teaching; (2) a Delphi study involving international expert discussion on current opportunities and challenges of learning analytics; as well as (3) outlining a research agenda for closing identified research gaps. Issues and…

As the OECD and UNESCO increasingly work in the same geographical and thematic areas, this paper explores the interplay between the organizations in relation to the making of global learning metrics and the global monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goal 4. Although the organizations seek to cooperate, this paper shows how this is limited by…
