Abstract

The regular gathering of student information has created a high level of complexity, and also an incredible opportunity for teachers to enhance student learning experience. The digital information that learners leave online about their interests, engagement and their preferences gives significant measures of information that can be mined to customise their learning experience better. The motivation behind this article is to inspect the quickly developing field of Learning Analytics and to study why and how enormous information will benefit teachers, institutes, online course developers and students as a whole. The research will discuss the advancement in Big Data and how is it useful in education, along with an overview of the importance of various stakeholders and the challenges that lie ahead. We also look into the tools and techniques that are put into practice to realize the benefits of Analytics in Education. Our results suggest that this field has the immense scope of development but ethical and privacy issues present a challenge.
