Overview
Digital learning-support environments such as LMS, electronic portfolio systems, and digital textbooks are increasingly used in various schools and online courses. They can facilitate learning activities in and outside classrooms, and their exhaust data can be used to perform learning analytics, which is the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs. Such a data-centric approach also allows for a potential use of early prediction about learners as exemplified in various learning analytics projects in countries including Japan.
