Exploring Learning Analytics for the Course Design Improvement: The Results of a Pilot Experiment

One of the most crucial challenges in e-learning is the course's quality and learning analytics to ensure it is one of the prominent avenues to be taken in the field. The paper initially aims to present the literature review findings on the benefits and challenges of learning analytics for higher education. Secondly, it shows the results of the pilot experiment. The experiment methodology comprises two cases. The first case presents course design quality solely based on learning analytics data. The second case describes the course design's quality using the proposed framework based on both data from learning analytics and a survey including specified criteria. Although the pilot experiment is limited to the number of courses included and a small sample, it provided significant insights into the benefits and challenges of learning analytics as a tool for course design improvement and course design quality interpretation.
