Learning Analytics in Modern Education: The Case of Google Classroom
Google Classroom has become a widely used learning and assessment environment in Philippine schools, offering a simple yet effective form of learning analytics. The platform gathers data from student activities—such as assignment submissions, quiz attempts, comments, and deadlines—and organizes them into dashboards that help teachers monitor learning patterns. Through auto-generated summaries and item analyses from Google Forms, teachers can quickly see who has completed tasks, who is struggling, and which concepts need reteaching.
These learning analytics significantly improve teaching by supporting data-driven decision-making. Instead of manually checking each student’s work, teachers can instantly identify those who need remediation, enrichment, or closer support. Trends in participation and performance allow educators to adjust lessons, differentiate instruction, and intervene early when engagement begins to drop. The quick feedback loop also helps maintain instructional continuity, especially in blended or online learning environments common in the Philippines.
For students, learning analytics promote self-awareness, accountability, and continuous improvement. Google Classroom lets learners view their grades, missing work, and teacher feedback in real time, helping them track progress and develop better study habits. Auto-graded quizzes reveal misconceptions immediately, enabling students to revisit lessons right away. While issues such as limited connectivity may cause misleading data or added pressure, the overall effect of learning analytics in Google Classroom is a more transparent, responsive, and supportive learning environment that aligns with the needs of today’s digital learners.
