This special issue reunites six examples of application of different learning analytics approaches using various data types, aiming to achieve different goals, and employing different instruments and methods: eye tracking, automated online dialog analysis, survey data from school ecosystems, log data analysis at individual and collaborative level, and visual learning analytics applied to Internet-of-Things data. These case studies are provided in the framework of the observed process–data–transformation–analysis–output pattern of practices. Brief conclusions pertaining to advantages, limitations and future work are drawn. Highlights • Actual learning analytics developments call for an overview over data types. • The special issue reunites six examples of learning analytics approaches. • A pattern of practices framework is proposed and discussed.
