While of course some of this work is adapted for specific UK legal requirements, the broader principles are highly relevant. See https://www.jisc.ac.uk/guides/code-of-practice-for-learning-analytics There's also a very helpful literature review that they developed as part of the effort, which is at: http://repository.jisc.ac.uk/5661/1/Learning_Analytics_A-_Literature_Review.pdf For a broad overview of Jisc's work in the learning analytics area, and pointers to other material, see https://www.jisc.ac.uk/rd/projects/effective-learning-analytics Clifford Lynch Director, CNI
