The Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR) is an inter-disciplinary network of leading international researchers who are exploring the role and impact of analytics on teaching, learning, training and development. SoLAR has been active in organizing the International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge (LAK) and the Learning Analytics Summer Institute (LASI). - Penetrating the Fog: Analytics in Learning and Education
Published in 2011, this Educause article provides definitions of terms related to Learning Analytics, and discusses its value for higher education. Authors: George Siemens and Phil Long. - Let’s not forget: Learning Analytics are about Learning
This paper first introduces the field of learning analytics and outlines the lessons learned from well‐known case studies in the research literature. The paper then identifies the critical topics that require immediate research attention for learning analytics to make a sustainable impact on the research and practice of learning and teaching. The paper concludes by discussing a growing set of issues that if unaddressed, could impede the future maturation of the field. The paper stresses that learning analytics are about learning. As such, the computational aspects of learning analytics must be well integrated within the existing educational research. Authors: Dragan Gašević, Shane Dawson, George Siemens
