This comprehensive book delves into the realm of practical learning analytics, aiming to seamlessly integrate it into practice, ultimately enhancing learning and teaching outcomes. Its primary objective is to transform our approach to creating and implementing learning analytics from a focus on technological design to one that prioritizes the design of systems that align with existing practices. Successfully implementing learning analytics necessitates a systematic approach, which this book elucidates through the lens of the Information Systems Artefact, comprising three interdependent artefacts: technical, information, and social.

The contributions of this book extend beyond the individual actions of teachers and students to encompass the broader systems of activity in which analytics play a vital role. The chapters included within this book showcase diverse cases of learning analytics implementation across different countries, while also addressing the potential opportunities and challenges associated with the generalizability of the results. This book is meticulously crafted for designers, students, and educators interested in leveraging learning analytics to improve learning and teaching outcomes.
