The University of Gloucestershire library has partnered with OCLC and Jisc to strengthen its learning analytics capabilities. With new data usage information about student engagement, the library is able to improve the personalized support the university gives its students.
The success of learning analytics rests on how students understand and use them. We asked pre-service teachers how they would see LA supporting their studies in higher education. Learn more about the four roles that we identified from students’ conversations!

College and university libraries can provide important contributions to institutional efforts to use learning analytics to improve student learning and success.
College students rely on increasingly data-rich environments when making learning-relevant decisions about the courses they take and their expected time commitments. However, we know little about how their exposure to such data may influence student course choice, effort regulation, and performance.
One of the most powerful tools that technology provides on the path to student success is data and analytics. Data allows institutions to better understand students, rethink systems, and create early-alert mechanisms to help students complete their degree. But finding the best way to use data and analytics can be tricky.

There is a recognised lack of international literature on advising and tutoring in Higher Education (HE). In an international context, advising and tutoring is of great importance and, in that regard, global research can help to build a credible evidence base for our practice and to acknowledge the centrality of high quality advising and tutoring to teaching, learning and student success.
