This article is in places awkwardly written, but it raises an important point. "The effectiveness and sustainability of Learning Analytics (LA) based feedback are questionable if it does not support learners and teacher," writes author Yi-Shan Tsai. The LA feedback needs to be appreciated "with critical awareness of its value and limitations", it needs to be translated from what is observed to a form people can actually use, and it needs to be managed "to offset imbalanced power relationships and increase transparency, validity, and accountability." You don't, in other words, simply plug a learner into an LA dashboard; the learner needs to be 'LA literate". Image: Leitner, et.al.
