17th International Learning Analytics & Knowledge Conference 2027 (LAK)

The International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge (LAK) is a premier research forum in the field, providing common ground for stakeholders involved in the design of analytics systems to debate the state of the art at the intersection of learning and analytics. These stakeholders include researchers, educators, instructional designers, data scientists, software developers, institutional leaders, and governmental policy makers.

The conference calls for research investigating how learning analytics can generate theoretically grounded and actionable insights that support learners, educators, institutions, and communities in achieving meaningful educational outcomes. Particular emphasis is placed on work exploring how learning analytics can promote learner agency, well-being, equity, inclusion, and lifelong learning across diverse educational contexts. Contributions that move beyond prediction and description toward the design, implementation, and evaluation of interventions that help individuals and communities thrive are particularly relevant. The conference also welcomes research examining the ethical, social, and organizational conditions necessary for learning analytics to create sustainable and positive impacts at scale.

LAK is intended for both researchers and practitioners and provides a forum for proactive dialogue around the future of learning analytics and its practical adoption. Its audience also includes educators, leaders, administrators, government representatives, and industry professionals interested in learning analytics and related disciplines.
