Short Description

This proposal reports a Category 1 Completed Study on students preferring learning analytics systems with detailed dashboards as well as adaptive and personalized information, however, they are not willing to share all required data to conduct the necessary analyses. To tackle this dilemma students need to be aware of the benefits learning analytics offer to optimize their learning processes. This can be achieved through transparency about data processing and analyses.
