Learning analytics are increasingly relevant, and prominent, in education. Startups and established software vendors are targeting learning analytics in their product offerings for the education and training and development sector. Many of the companies that serve the higher education market– including Sungard, Blackboard, and Pearson – are already heavily committed to analytics. In education, everything is becoming “data” and “analytics”).

Earlier this year, the startup announced Endor.Coin, an analytics platform designed to reinvent AI predictions by making them easily accessible to companies and individuals with no data science or AI expertise, thus aiming to become a kind of Google for predictive analytics.

I have great hope for the learning analytics field as one that will provide significant research for learning and help us move past naive quantitative and qualitative assessments of research and knowledge. Would you be interested in participating in a discussion on educational analytics (process, methods, technologies)? Not everyone was a fan of the idea of learning analytics.
