The Keynote of Professor Ifenthaler at ICOIE 2021 focusses on Drivers for Successful Adoption of Learning Analytics.
Recent research focussing on the adoption of learning analytics reports high interest among educational organisations. At the same time, the maturity level of available organisation-wide learning analytics systems is still low, i.e., organisations are aware of learning analytics and start experimenting with dashboards for students and teachers, however, they are far from organisational transformation. Accordingly, learning analytics remains an interest for educational organisations rather than a major priority.
In this keynote speech, current research findings regarding the effectiveness of learning analytics are critically examined and implications for organisational change as well as pedagogical practice will be provided. Examples of actionable frameworks and adoption models for successful integration of learning analytics systems into educational organisations will be presented, and challenges encountered during the adoption of learning analytics in educational organisations will be highlighted.
