Learning Analytics Goes to School presents a framework for engaging in education research and improving education practice through the use of newly available data sources and analytical approaches.

In this book, three leading researchers convey lessons from their own experiences-and the current state of the art in educational data mining and learning analytics more generally-by providing an explicit set of tools and processes for engaging in collaborative data-intensive improvement.
