In these pages you will find many links to tools and resources that you can explore as you like. Please do not feel like you need to read every paper, or click on every link. There are a wide array of tools that are used in modern Learning Analytics (LA) and so these pages are intended to help you navigate your way through some of the current trends and topics. The list is by no means meant to be exhaustive! The best way to find out more is to dive in to the proceedings from the annual Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) conferences, or to browse through the different presentations at the yearly LASI events (see this page for details about all SoLAR events: https://solaresearch.org/events/).At the webinar for this session we will explore some of the tools discussed here in more detail. But please feel free to dive in and start exploring these resources for yourselves now!
