Necessity of learning analytics in software engineering education

Computers are necessary and unavoidable part of the modern lifestyle. software is the key factor to satisfy all the desires and keep up this rock status. software engineers are the people who develop the software to satisfy the user needs and make their work easier. software engineers are academically mold up to the industry requirements through the proper software engineering education. hence software engineering education plays an imperative role in computer education,but it falls short to fabricate the genius software engineers to satisfy the industries need. to overcome these issues researchers proposed number of software engineering learning/teaching methods to egg-on students to reap their depth knowledge in software engineering,albeit these allusions does not utterly conquer this decisive issue since the suggested approaches does not meet with the student’s learning style. learning analytics plays a vital role to improve the students learning activities. this paper describes the software engineering students’ requirements through learning analytics and proposes a teaching/learning tool to engage the students learning activities to overcome such issues and inspire them in gathering software engineering knowledge. keywords: software engineering education,learning analytics,social learning analytics,learning style,learning engagement,software engineering,learning/teaching methods. © school of engineering,taylor’s university.
