This research examined the effect of learning analytics (LA) on students' metacognitive awareness and academic achievement in an online learning environment. In this study, a mixed methods approach was used and applied as a quasi-experimental design. The results of LA were sent to students weekly in LA group (experimental group) via learning…

Student emotions influence assessment task behaviour and performance but are difficult to study empirically. The study combined qualitative data from focus group interviews with 22 students and 4 teachers, with quantitative real-time learning analytics (facial expression, mouse click and keyboard strokes) to examine student emotional engagement in…

Learning analytics aims to improve learning and teaching in digital learning environments by optimizing them. Real-time feedback, suggestions, directions, and interventions are structured in the digital learning environments. In order to structure more effective interventions, it is crucial to ascertain which of these services offered to students…

Sentiment analysis (SA) is widespread across all fields and has become one of the most active topics in education research, and there is a growing body of papers published. So far, however, there has been little discussion about comprehensive literature reviews in SA in education. Therefore, this study aims to review the high-qualified scientific…

The rapid recent use of learning analytics (LA) in higher education, specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic, allows the monitoring of users' behavior while learning. Using LA may promote students' learning outcomes but also intrude into their privacy. This study aimed to explore students' behaviour and perceptions towards privacy and data…

Understanding students' emerging roles in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) is critical for promoting regulated learning processes and supporting learning at both individual and group levels. However, it has been challenging to disentangle individual performance from group-based deliverables. This study introduces new learning…

The expansion of online learning in higher education has both contributed to researchers exploring innovative ways to develop learning environments and created challenges in identifying student interactions with course material. Learning analytics is an emerging field that can identify student interactions and help make data-informed course design…

The design of social learning analytics (SLA) tools has become a practical means to make available learning information with a goal to improve students' regulation, reflection, and engagement in online learning. This design-based research uses the multi-method analytics to iteratively design, implement, and modify the SLA tool that makes available…

Learning Analytics Dashboards (LADs) are gaining popularity as a platform for providing students with insights into their learning behaviour patterns in online environments. Existing LAD studies are mainly centred on displaying students' online behaviours with simplistic descriptive insights. Only a few studies have integrated predictive…

The future of university learning in Sub-Saharan Africa has become increasingly digitally transformed by both e-Learning, and learning analytics, post-COVID-19 pandemic. Learning analytics intervention is critical for effective support of socially-shared regulated learning skills, which are crucial for twenty-first-century e-Learners.…

The article is devoted to learning analytics problems associated with the digital culture development in the university educational space and with the student activity control in the vocational training process. The empirical basis of the study was a series of surveys conducted by the Center for Sociological Research of the Peter the Great…

There is a growing interest in the use of learning analytics in higher education institutions. Learning analytics also appear to have the potential to be used to provide personalized feedback and support in online learning. However, when the literature is examined, the use of learning analytics for this purpose appears as a gap to be investigated.…

Aim/Purpose: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries have adopted online education as an alternative to face-to-face courses. This has increased awareness of the importance of analyzing learning data left by students to improve and evaluate the learning process. This article presents a new tool, named TaBAT, created to work…

A major criticism brought to digital learning environments was that the individual learning activities cannot be monitored consistently. However, recent advancements of educational data mining and learning analytics allow a precise tracking of learner activities. Previous studies focused on learners' navigation profiles, academic achievements, or…

While teachers often monitor and adjust their learning design based on students' emotional states in physical classrooms, synchronous online environments often limit their ability to perceive the emotional climate of the class. Drawing from the concept of social translucence, it is suggested that making students' emotional states…
