Policy Analysis and Program Evaluation

However, the most advanced ten per cent of students in any year of school are five to six years ahead of the least advanced ten per cent.

Learning Analytics is a new and developing field. As with many new fields of study, a gap between theory and practice is evident. Some attribute this gap to the lack of situating learning analytics within learning theory. In order for Learning Analytics to find interest and usability among educators, a shift is needed from the technical use to practical application. In this theoretical paper …
