Learning analytics

It is a tool for assessment, interpretation, and analysis of learner-generated data in the online learning environment, in order to make the learning and teaching processes more efficient by the teacher on interventions needed to advise or consult learners in due time to enhance their academic success. (Volungeviciene et al., 2021:12). There are four main categories of learning analytics: (1) descriptive (what happened?); (2) predictive (what will happen next?); (3) diagnostic (why did it happen?); (4) prescriptive (do this to improve).
