Learning analytics for next phase: Empowerment of learning using learning analytics
Educational/learning environments and competencies required in the global society have changed, as information technologies are advancing. Along with this change, educational technology researchers are developing various solutions based on learning theories. Learning analytics research is one of the relevant research areas, and it contributes to improving educational and learning systems using various types of high end information technologies, such as making predictions using pattern analysis. The development of new technologies always presents a great challenge for educational and information technology researchers.
However, learning analytics is transitioning to the next phase: the practical use of learning analytics. It is best to explore the following topics, which are relevant to this phase:
- User-centered system design for learning analytics
- Decision-making support using learning analytics
- Organizational support for learning analytics (e.g., learning support and teaching skill development for learning analytics)
- Instructional design based on learning analytics
- Feedback based on learning analytics
- Policy for learning analytics–based practice
- New technologies for stakeholders’ “sense-making” in learning analytics
- Data literacy development for learning analytics
- Teaching analytics and its improvement process
