Learning Analytics Adoption in Higher Education: A European Perspective
Insights form contrasting international perspectives to upscale the use of Learning Analytics at your university; let more students experience the benefits of Learning Analytics.
LAK24 Kyoto
ABSTRACT: The successful application of Learning Analytics (LA) can improve student learning outcomes, student support and teaching. The key-challenges for LA adoption (i.e., Ethics, Leadership, Analytics culture, Analytics capabilities, Stakeholder involvement, and Technology) have been investigated. However, large-scale adoption remains lacking as does research into it. This half-day workshop organized in cooperation of several European universities has the aim to provide support to researchers and practitioners for realizing large scale adoption of practicable LA within higher education and the essential research thereon. Research and insights from the varied European contexts will be presented in this workshop for comparison with researchers from non-European and other European contexts. The idea is that this exchange will provide insights to learn from the differences and overcome global challenges for successful adoption of LA at scale.
HALF DAY INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP SESSION
Two key challenges
Challenge 1
Although there is an increased uptake of LA applications that go beyond pilots (Leitner et al., 2017), few higher education institutions have yet implemented Learning Analytics at scale (Knobbout et al., 2023).
Challenge 2
As a result, scientific output in this area of practical use of scalable LA in higher education is still limited (SoLAR, 2023).

The aim of the workshop is to deal with the two challenges stated above by learning from other contexts. Therefore, the workshop will zoom in on contextual influences on two main bottlenecks for the issue of limited adoption at scale:
1. The process of obtaining data 2. Stakeholder engagement
1. The process of obtaining data 2. Stakeholder engagement
Framework of the Worskhop Design: Contextual influence on the issue of limited adoption of LA despite proven educational benefits. Workshop focuses on 1. the process of obtaining data and 2. stakeholder engagement
