Theory and practice of learning analytics for informatics

This study explores how learning analytics can transform the way informatics is taught and learned across Europe. It connects theory with real classroom practice, showing how data can help teachers understand learning processes, adapt teaching, and support student progress. By combining national insights, educator experiences, and practical examples, the report highlights how learning analytics can make informatics education more personalized, evidence-based, and future-ready.

Preconditions for data modelling in schools for learning analytics for informatics (data storage, data structure, data harmonization)

This guidebook is Part 1 of a three-part series on introducing Learning Analytics (LA) in informatics education. It aims to assist educators, administrators, and decision-makers in leveraging LA to enhance teaching, learning, and educational planning. Whether you are considering LA deployment or already underway, the guide provides essential insights and practical tools. While focused on informatics, much of the content is applicable to other educational contexts.
