Learning Analytics Goes to School : A Collaborative Approach to Improving Education

Abstract

Learning Analytics Goes to School presents a framework for engaging in education research and improving education practice through the use of newly available data sources and analytical approaches. The application of data-intensive research techniques to understanding and improving learning environments has been growing at a rapid pace. In this book, three leading researchers convey lessons from their own experiences--and the current state of the art in educational data mining and learning analytics more generally--by providing an explicit set of tools and processes for engaging in collaborative data-intensive improvement.
