Application of learning analytics in higher educational institutions

Abstract

© 2018 IEEE. This article considers how teachers and university administrators can use a significant amount of data stored in the information systems of institutions. Intelligent analysis of these learning processes is of great use in the higher education system. The use of learning analytics (LA) by a large number of higher educational institutions shows the interest and participation of universities in this matter. Learning analytics can tell a lot about the progress of students and the environment in which learning takes place. Intellectualization of educational analytics will help provide predictive models that can serve as a basis for quality assurance and quality improvement. This article gives an idea of the current level of LA development at the international level. The article also draws conclusions about the problems and limitations associated with learning analytics (LA). The existing experience has been studied, and the conclusion have been made about the existing limitations that prevent the wider use of LA.
