Learning analytics offers great opportunities but also can feel scary at times to educators and learners. Yet, learning analytics is not random, but is tightly coupled to the learning designs that generated the data. This slidedeck focuses on conceptual approaches for thinking about data during course planning and instructional design. This is the extended slidedeck of the "Design Thinking for Learning Analytics" Workshop at the Learning Analytics Innovation Room of the Centre for Education and Learning at TU Delft on 8 April 2019.
