Abstract
Education for the twenty-first century continues to promote discoveries in the field through learning analytics. The problem is that the rapid embrace of learning analytics diverts educators' attention from clearly identifying requirements and implications of using learning analytics in higher education. Learning analytics is a promising emerging field, yet higher education stakeholders need to become further familiar with issues related to the use of learning analytics in higher education. This chapter addresses the above problem and design of learning analytics implementations: the practical shaping of the human tactics involved in taking on and using analytic equipment, records, and reviews as part of an educational enterprise. This is an overwhelming but equally essential set of design choices from the ones made within the advent of the learning analytics structures themselves. Finally, this chapter's implications for learning analytics teachers and students and areas requiring further studies are highlighted.
