Abstract
There is rapidly growing interest in the potential of learning analytics as a tool to
enhance student success and retention outcomes.. This stems from the capacity
for learning analytics to provide insights into all aspects of student experience at
a university, including their engagement with the learning process, teaching quality, and other elements of student experience. However, there are limited resources that can inform institutions in how best to commence and deploy learning analytics. This Nuts and Bolts session will introduce the audience to learning analytics and their potential, plus report the progress of two OLTfunded projects aimed at reviewing learning analytics across Australian universities within an international context. Both projects are focused on identifying how learning analytics are currently informing teaching practice and personalised learning, and the development of applications for improving retention and identification of students at-risk, in institutions within Australia, and internationally
