Learning analytics for school and system management
Dirk Ifenthaler
Abstract
Learning analytics for educational organisations has been a topic of discussion for the past decade. Yet, there are few examples of organisation-wide systematic and holistic adoptions of learning analytics. This chapter explores actionable frameworks and adopting models that could help successfully integrate learning analytics into educational organisations in an organisational change approach. While higher education organisations are aware of learning analytics and have started experimenting with dashboards for students and teachers this is far from organisational transformation. Research on the implementation and practice of learning analytics in K-12 schools is also scarce.A look at adoption models and policy recommendations in a broader international context may help push isolated experiments with learning analytics into the mainstream.
