Criticism

1. "I somewhat disagree with this definition - it serves well as an introductory concept if we use analytics as a support structure for existing

education models. I think learning analytics - at an advanced and integrated implementation - can do away with pre-fab curriculum models". George Seimens in the Learning Analytics Google Group discussion.
