Learning Analytics and Research on Learning Process

Latest when I work on my PhD Thesis, maybe already now in the context of my M.A. Thesis “Learning Analytics” will become a topic to deal with. Irrespectiv of questions of the protection of data privacy and regardless to individual points of view in respect to the question of if success in learning can be predicted – research on learning processes in the context of digital media and growing heterogenity cannot ignore potential and risks of such a mighty tool.

Resources that deal with the topic are for example Solar (Society for Learning Analytics Research) and – thanks to Twitter I owe George Siemens (@siemens) the links to the resources of  “Data & Society” or the  Journal of Learning Analytics (the Inaugural Issue of the Journal of Learning Analytics (ISSN 1929-7750 (online) is availabe for free download). Have also a look to the link mentioned below the grafic (thanks to the authors for the authorisation to use it), there you find an recent and interessting article.

I look forward to your experiences in this field!
