3. Summary and Conclusions

To our knowledge, this is the first study presenting learning analytics using continuous objective data from
authentic classroom computer use in the body of K-12 literature, answering calls for such data from many
educators in response to falling ICT skills and educational outcomes (NAP-ICT 2014).

Our study demonstrates that real-time classroom computer learning analytics in K-12 is feasible and effective
as a teacher’s tool in the classroom and for reflection. This platform and this data furthermore form the
st
building blocks of a future teaching aide and an assessment tool for 21 Century skills.

Tools and reports such as this inform educationalists, teachers and students to better understand how digital
technologies are used in classrooms, and once validated against educational outcomes, how they may
provide evidence-based ways of using ICT for improved learning by all students.

Our findings justify expansion to future larger prospective controlled studies from a greater number of
schools, especially ones from more diverse backgrounds and ICT resource levels, where even greater benefits
may be expected.
