The document outlines three challenges for learning analytics: 1) Ensure research translates into practical applications that benefit learners, as what is measured will influence behaviors; 2) Focus on measuring outcomes that truly matter for learning rather than superficial metrics; and 3) Plan for how analysis will be used to inform actions that will improve the learning experience, while working ethically to avoid potential harms.
