The Context of Learning Analytics FROM WIKI - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_analytics#History
(This section is adapted from the CC-By-SA [2] on the EdFutures.net wiki)
In “The State of Learning Analytics in 2012: A Review and Future Challenges” Rebecca Ferguson [14] tracks the progress of analytics for learning as a development through:
- The increasing interest in 'big data' for business intelligence
- The rise of online education focussed around Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs), Content Management Systems (CMSs), and Management Information Systems (MIS) for education, which saw an increase in digital data regarding student background (often held in the MIS) and learning log data (from VLEs). This development afforded the opportunity to apply 'business intelligence' techniques to educational data
- Questions regarding the optimisation of systems to support learning particularly given the question regarding how we can know whether a student is engaged/understanding if we can’t see them?
- Increasing focus on evidencing progress and professional standards for accountability systems
This focus led to a teacher stakehold in the analytics - given that they are associated with accountability systems
Thus an increasing emphasis was placed on the pedagogic affordances of learning analytics
This pressure is increased by the economic desire to improve engagement in online education for the deliverance of high quality - affordable - education.

Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimising learning and the environments in which it occurs. Conference organizers are seeking submissions of Ideas and Innovations papers addressing the following topics:
Technical:
Software development and use in analytics The role of knowledge representation and ontologies in learning analytics The semantic web and linked data: meaning in connections Data mining in learning analytics Artificial intelligence in learning analytics Internet of things (sensors) and learning applications "Big Data" applications and opportunities in learning and education Latent semantic analysis/natural language processing Attention metadata Architecture of learning environments and implications to learning analytics Software needed to advance learning analytics as a field
Application:
Visualization: data, learner networks, conceptual knowledge Predictive applications of data Interventions based on analytics Social and technical systems to manage information abundance Personalization and adaptivity in the learning process Corporate and higher education case studies of learning analytics Learning analytics for intelligent tutoring systems Open data: data access for learners Harmonizing individual learning with organizational learning Importing insights for existing analytics Use of learning analytics in centralized (learning management systems) and decentralized (personal learning environments) settings
Conceptual & Pedagogical:
The relationship between learning analytics and existing theories and approaches (such as pedagogical models and learning sciences) Social network analysis Cognitive modelling Harnessing the power of context and location aware systems Informal learning: integrating learning and knowledge systems Privacy & ethics in learning analytics The influence of analytics on designing for learning The influence of analytics on delivery and support of learning
