Learning Analytics towards the Usage of Educational Big Data

Abstract

Educational Big Data (EBD) and Learning Analytics (LA) have being attracted enormous attention in recent years. Data collection process is the first step of EBD and LA. Based on the data source, data collection can be classified into two categories: manual data collection, and automatic data collection. This paper describes two educational systems: SCROLL (System for Capturing, Reusing, Reminding Of Learning Logs) as manual data collection and, M2B (Moodle, Mahara, Booklooper) as automatic data collection.
