Abstract
This paper presents learning analytics as a mean to improve students’ learning. Most learning analytics tools are developed by in-house individual educational institutions to meet the specific needs of their students. Learning analytics is defined as a way to measure, collect, analyse and report data about learners and their context, for the purpose of understanding and optimizing learning. The paper concludes by highlighting framework of learning analytics in order to improve personalised learning. In addition, it is an endeavour to define the characterising features that represents the relationship between learning analytics and personalised learning environment. The paper proposes that learning analytics is dependent on personalised approach for both educators and students. From a learning perspective, students can be supported with specific learning process and reflection visualisation that compares their respective performances to the overall performance of a course. Furthermore, the learners may be provided with personalised recommendations for suitable learning resources, learning paths, or peer students through recommending system. The paper’s contribution to knowledge is in considering personalised learning within the context framework of learning analytics.

Summary
There is a change in the way students learn, as the emerging connected learning pedagogies [1][2][3] suited online learning and improved the learning experiences of students. As a result, it reduced the need for direct involvement of teacher [4]. In relation to ways of how blended or online learning environment can be personalised, it lays on the values of personalised learning by putting the learner at the heart of the education system [8]. For a student, personalised learning actively engages students in the process of learning, leading to improved learning outcomes and learning experiences. Learning analytics is the third wave of large-scale developments in instructional technology that began with the advent of the learning management system [15]
