A Mini Review on Technologies and Storage Platforms in Supporting Learning Analytics

Abstract

Learning Analytics (LA) has emerged as a pivotal field in education, harnessing the power of data to enhance the learning experience and improve educational outcomes. This review paper delves into the multifaceted landscape of LA, focusing on the significance and the pivotal role of LA played by technology and storage platforms. An exploration is undertaken into the varied spectrum of platforms and storage solutions that underlie the foundation of LA. Ranging from traditional storage systems to advanced database storage, this review elucidates the distinctive roles and functionalities these technologies offer within the LA ecosystem. Additionally, a comprehensive examination of how data storage profoundly influences the outcomes of LA is conducted, with an emphasis on the pivotal aspects of efficient data management, security, and scalability. In addition, this paper includes insights into future trends and technological advancements in data storage for LA. As the field continues to evolve, understanding the central importance of technology and storage platforms becomes increasingly crucial. Therefore, this review paper serves as a valuable resource for educators, researchers, and technologists seeking to unlock the full potential of LA through the implementation of optimized data storage solutions.
