This paper presents a research on the effectiveness of digital learning in Higher Education and how this can be measured. This research aims to bridge the gap between scientific and practice-oriented research about digital learning. The focus will be on learning analytics with the goal to identify the potential of digital education for Universities. To achieve this goal, we conducted a literature review of which have resulted in the following research questions: What are the higher education contexts in which digital learning can take place? What are the primary metrics which allows measuring the efficiency of digital learning in higher education contexts? The methodological approach of the research was qualitative, and the main technique to collect and analyze data was content analysis from the literature review of papers on digital learning contexts and digital learning analytics. The results of the present study show that digital learning analytics can enhance the efficacy of the impact of the learning process in organizations and that contexts for learning supported on mobile technologies, tablet and smartphone applications become more and more popular among the students.
