Google Classroom is a widely used digital learning environment that integrates learning analytics to help teachers and students monitor progress effectively. Through built-in tools such as grade tracking, assignment insights, and activity logs, teachers can identify patterns in student performance and engagement. These analytics allow educators to personalize instruction, provide timely feedback, and intervene early when learners struggle.

One of its greatest strengths is its accessibility and ease of use, enabling real-time collaboration and assessment across various devices. Learning analytics in Google Classroom empower teachers to make data-driven decisions that enhance student achievement. However, challenges remain in ensuring data privacy, ethical use of information, and avoiding overreliance on quantitative metrics that may overlook qualitative aspects of learning. When used responsibly, Google Classroom demonstrates the potential of analytics to create more adaptive and equitable learning environments.
