Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the potential of “small data” to complement research in learning analytics (LA) and to share some of the insights learned from this approach.
Design/methodology/approach
This study demonstrates an approach inspired by design science research, making a dashboard available to n=1,905 students in 11 study programs (used by n=887) to learn how it is being used and to gather student feedback.
Findings
Students react positively to the LA dashboard, but usage and feedback differ depending on study success.
Research limitations/implications
More research is needed to explore the expectations of a high-performing student with regards to LA dashboards.
Originality/value
This publication demonstrates how a small data approach to LA contributes to building a better understanding.
