ABSTRACT
In order to further the field of learning analytics (LA), researchers and experts may need to look beyond themselves and their own perspectives and expertise to innovate LA platforms and interventions. We suggest that by co-creating with the users of LA, such as educators and students, researchers and experts can improve the usability, usefulness, and draw greater understanding from LA interventions. Within this article we discuss the current LA issues and barriers and how co-creation strategies can help address many of these challenges. We further outline the considerations, both pre- and during interventions, which support and foster a co-created strategy for learning analytics interventions.
