== Learning Analytics ==
 +
 
 +
We have identified the following stages in the learning analytics workflow. Implementation of each stage is independent to provide for flexibility of use by different stakeholders:
 +
 
 +
# '''Measurement'''
 +
#* Data is generated at the source
 +
#** Journal metadata
 +
#** sugar-stats
 +
# '''Collection''':
 +
#* The measured data needs to be collected from the source, anonymized, aggregated, and prepared for processing.
 +
#** transfer of data from schools to central location
 +
#** anonymization: currently not implemented
 +
#** olpc_journal_processor: https://github.com/Leotis/olpc_journal_processor
 +
#** xo-stats: https://github.com/martasd/xo-stats
 +
# '''Analysis'''
 +
#* Analysis of raw data or data aggregated in a database.
 +
#** spreadsheet application (LibreOffice)
 +
#**statistics application: SOFA Statistics, R, CouchDB views, etc.
 +
# '''Reporting'''
 +
#* A meaningful report tailored to the needs of a particular audience is generated
 +
#** CouchDB + D3.js, HighCharts, InfoVIS Toolkit, jqPlot, dc.js within Flask templates-> HTML, PNG, PS, PDF, SVG, etc.
 +
#** Using CouchDB with InfoVIS Toolkit: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/business_analytics_with_couchdb_and_noflo
 +
#** OLPC Dashboard: https://github.com/Leotis/olpc-datavisualization
 +
# '''Sharing Results'''
 +
#* Analysis results and visualizations are shared across deployments.
 +
#** currently not implemented
