A Framework for Online Learning Analytics in K-12 Classrooms as a Precursor for Personalized Learning

Abstract

The purpose of the research study reported on in this chapter is to develop a framework for online learning analytics (LA) in schools as a precursor for personalized learning. Against the background of emergent practices related to learning analytics in Kindergarten/grade R through grade-12 classrooms, the chapter will present the authors' perspectives on learning analytics in open and distance learning environments, as well as barriers, and discuss future research directions for K-12 classrooms.
