Evaluating learning analytics implementations: three approaches for practice

Approaches for evaluating learning analytics implementations are as varied as the definitions of success they attempt to measure. Practically, some have the potential to provide bounded insight and can be simple to apply, whilst others offer deeper, holistic understanding but can be complicated to manage. In order to extend practice, and develop more effective, responsible, and successful implementations it is suggested that it would be advantageous for practitioners to have broad knowledge of several methodologies that could be used for evaluating learning analytics implementations.
