From a holistic perspective, educational organizations and involved stakeholders can derive multiple benefits from learning analytics. This article explores the adoption of learning analytics within educational organizations which depends on several factors including technological systems, regulations and guidelines, as well as professional development of involved stakeholders. The maturity level of available organization-wide learning analytics systems is still low. The adoption of learning analytics at educational organizations requires capabilities not yet fully developed as well as on-going rigorous research. Confirming sustainable benefits for learning-processes and improving learning environments will further encourage the adoption of learning analytics.
