Low-cost Learning Analytics

About the Project

Learning Analytics (LA) has been primarily researched and developed in developed countries, where it has been used to address the educational challenges of those regions. However, these LA solutions might not be effective in developing countries due to different educational challenges and limited access to technology and infrastructure. Therefore, Low-cost Learning Analytics (L2A) has been proposed as an alternative approach that can help to address the specific challenges of developing countries. This project aims to explore the potential of L2A in India, where there are unique educational challenges. L2A can provide cost-effective, data-driven student performance and engagement insights that support evidence-based teaching and learning. By tailoring instruction to the needs of individual students, L2A could improve overall learning outcomes and contribute to a more equitable global education system that addresses the specific challenges of developing countries.
