Description
Learning Analytics is a growing discipline as educational institutions aim to exploit data and data analytics for several reasons, especially in higher education. Unfortunately, there is a lack of consensus on how learning analytics should be defined and what subjects fall under the purview of learning analytics. The blurred boundaries of what learning analytics encompasses have given rise to multiple studies and systematic reviews that have been published without any consistent agreement to develop the field in a particular direction. Consequently, we are outlining a protocol for a scoping review to map and summarize existing scoping reviews that have been published regarding learning analytics. More specifically, the scoping review of reviews will focus on learning analytics in business education as a use case when it involves machine learning to inform educational interventions. This scoping review will hopefully be the first step in unifying learning analytics for all stakeholders to further develop it into a field of study where it can benefit everyone relying on learning analytics.

LEARNING ANALYTICS IN POST-SECONDARY BUSINESS EDUCATION: A SCOPING REVIEW OF REVIEWS PROTOCOL
