Google Classroom: A Tool for Learning Analytics

Learning analytics involves collecting and analyzing information to monitor learners' progress and interactions within an organization's learning environment. One learning and assessment environment to consider that offers learning analytics is Google Classroom. Google Classroom is an online learning platform that helps teachers, content creators, and facilitators organize and share their educational materials in one place.

Google Classroom does provide some basic analytics tools that can be helpful for educators which includes student engagement data where tracking of students who viewed assignments, completed quizzes, or participated in discussions. It monitors the submission of assignments and identifies late or missing work. Also, it analyzes student scores on quizzes and identifies areas of strength and weakness.

By using these analytics tools, educators can gain insights into student learning and identify areas where they may need to provide additional support or adjust their teaching methods. However, it lacks more comprehensive and in-depth analytics features.
