Exploring the Evolution and Impact of Learning Analytics in a Moroccan Context

Abstract

The chapter evaluates the integration of learning analytics (LA) into Morocco's education system, a task marked by its inherent complexities. A detailed exploration of a case study involving the Provincial Directorate of Education in the Hay Hassani region aids this endeavor. LA's implementation and implications were critically examined, drawing upon the collected data, survey results, and interviews with key stakeholders. A key finding, the Mehnaty project, emerged as a remarkable LA application in the Moroccan context. The analysis indicates that this model, despite logistical and financial constraints, successfully captured age-and-location-based learning requirements, thus informing the design of a more contextually compatible curriculum. This endeavor confirms that implementing LA in the Moroccan educational landscape is viable, albeit with some challenges. The outcome underscores the importance of context in the utilization of LA, advocating for a tailored approach that takes local realities into account to ensure effective learning outcomes.
