Why?
The need to develop practices and models related to the use of learning analytics in vocational education has been identified and the Learning Analytics Framework (description in English) published by the Ministry of Education also indicates that. The efficient use of learning analytics supports the use of digital learning environments and personalized study paths. The objective is that learning analytics is well established and plays a key role in the development of vocational education and training. This will support the equality in vocational education, the reduction of learning gaps and the improvement of quality.
