Education Learning Analytics Design
Goal
Turn platform/log/behavior data into a rigorous education research design.
Inputs
- Data source: LMS, AI platform, app logs, assignments, assessments, clickstream
- Outcome of interest
- Unit of analysis: student, session, class, school, item
- Time window
- Privacy constraints
Workflow
- Define research questions and unit of analysis.
- Build data dictionary.
- Plan cleaning, anonymization, and feature engineering.
- Select analysis type: descriptive, clustering, prediction, sequence, causal inference.
- Plan validation and interpretability.
- Design visualizations/dashboards if needed.
- Draft methods and limitations.
Tool Calls
Python:
pip install pandas numpy scikit-learn statsmodels seaborn matplotlib shap
R:
install.packages(c("tidyverse", "caret", "tidymodels", "lme4", "TraMineR"))
Tools:
Jupyter, RStudio, Orange, Weka, Power BI, Tableau

Include:
- Data dictionary
- Feature plan
- Modeling plan
- Evaluation metrics
- Ethics/privacy checklist
Quality Rules
- Avoid black-box prediction without educational interpretation.
- Do not use identifiable student data without anonymization and consent.
- Define leakage risks when predicting outcomes.
