Abstract

More and more learning in higher education settings is being facilitated through online learning environments. Students' ability to self-regulate their learning is considered a key factor for success in higher education. Learning analytics offer a promising approach to better support and understand students' learning processes. The purpose of this study is to investigate students' expectations towards features of learning analytics systems and their willingness to use these features for learning. A total of 20 university students participated in an initial qualitative exploratory study. They were interviewed about their expectations of learning analytics features. The findings of the qualitative study were complemented by a quantitative study with 216 participating students. The findings show that students expect learning analytics features to support their planning and organization of learning processes, provide self-assessments, deliver adaptive recommendations, and produce personalized analyses of their learning activities. Investigating students' expectations toward features of learning analytics systems.Illustrating 15 learning analytics features which support learning processes.Relating learning analytics features to phases of self-regulation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
