Cooking with learning Analytics Recipes

Learning Analytics is a melting pot for a multitude of research fields and origin of many developments about learning and its environment. There is a serious hype over the concepts of learning analytics, however, concrete solutions and applications are comparably scarce. Of course, data rich environments, such as MOOCs, come with statistical analytics dashboards, although the educational value is often limited. Practical solutions for scenarios in data-lean environments or for small-scale organizations are rarely adopted. The LA4S project is dedicated to gather practical solutions, provide a tool box for practitioners, and publish a cook book with concrete learning analytics recipes for everyone. (Verlag)
