Educational data can be analyzed to inform interventions that improve the learning process. Visualization systems can improve course content and provide personalized feedback. Adaptive systems allow automatic decisions based on student data. Prediction tools can forecast learning gains, certificates earned, social engagement, cheating, and system usage based on personality. The SHEILA project studied policy, adoption, staff and student perspectives, and developed a framework for institutional strategies around educational data. The LALA project builds capacity in Latin America for creating and customizing learning analytics tools to enhance academic decision-making.
