Vocational education and training (VET) remain overlooked in learning analytics (LA) research. This systematic literature review, using four databases and other sources, was carried out by analyzing selected 60 articles (2012-2017) to study the levels and stages of education that the reviewed LA literature examined. The review indicated that most…

It is broadly accepted that learning is important in supporting the delivery of change. Furthermore, during times of public sector budget cuts there is a growing interest in innovation and change.

This evaluation studied the evidence of research-based learning theories and practices in the 70:20:10 framework literature. Carefully noting that the 70:20:10 framework is a workplace performance model (that is, a model that underscores doing work tasks versus only knowing about them), this investigation finds the majority of the framework…
