Abstract
There are many ways in which educational data can be used to improve learning, such as for personalised learning, predicting the future or improving educational materials. These interventions can be supported by technological tools and processes at the institutional level. This talk will introduce some ideas and guidelines for making this adoption at the institutional level, as well as some tools and specific applications of learning analytic tools to improve the educational process.
