Abstract
The research study at hand aims to answer the question, whether an innovative information system can be implemented that will help to enhance reading literacy of elementary pupils. 
 Based on predefined reading tests this web-based system evaluates the reading literacy of pupils. It consists of two primary parts; the system that creates and evaluates such reading tests and the test platform itself. 
 In order to assess the system a field test was conducted. Therefore it was tested in two school classes. In the course of this study reading tests were carried out and retrieved data and results were evaluated.
 Despite some minor usability problems, the system performed very well. The test system delivered good estimations of the reading capabilities of single pupils and classes. Of special interest is the system’s analysis of the created reading tests since the system is capable of evaluating reading test according to their difficulty
Highlights
In order to assess the system a field test was conducted
Learning analytics in general is a great promise for teachers
The field test pointed out some weaknesses with the design of the iPad application, the usability of the administration and deployment tool
Summary
In order to assess the system a field test was conducted. It was tested in two school classes. In the course of this study reading tests were carried out and retrieved data and results were evaluated. In preferred cases the teacher reconsiders the applied methods of teaching according to their pupils’ strengths and weaknesses in order to achieve satisfying results for pupils as well as for the teacher. The field of learning analytics is a rather versatile and interesting one and has many different research approaches [2]. Even though learning analytics is a more than interesting topic and the benefits for teachers in terms of pedagogy would be extensive different constraints (like data security issues) must be discussed [5]
