Learning Analytics for Innovation and Knowledge Application in Higher Education (LAIKA) is an interdisciplinary research group that addresses complex problems in teaching and learning contexts, primarily in higher education. LAIKA carries out interdisciplinary research based on indicators that combine research from two different areas: the conception of underlying learning or the educational context (learning) and the use of new computational, statistical and visualization analysis methods (analytics) to understand it. Specifically, the group's activity is organized around three main research lines: Line 1: Student monitoring, assessment and feedback. Line 2: Development of a predictive model for analysing student drop-out in higher education. Line 3: Analysis of open education practices (MOOC, repositories, social media).
