Learning analytics: a systematic literature review

the majority of algorithms used in the data analysis are designed according to the capacities of power and flexibility rather than for its simplicity and are too complex to use in the educational context. The objective of this paper is to present a literature review on the learning analytics in higher education: problems, limitations, techniques and tools used. The systematic literature review methodology was used to answer three research questions on the basis of scientific publications. This paper concludes that it must implement, adapt or develop algorithms for the educational context and must be build tools for the analysis of educational data with intuitive interfaces and easy to use.
