TY - CHAP TI - Learning and Work: Professional Learning Analytics AU - Littlejohn, Allison T2 - The Handbook of Learning Analytics A2 - Lang, Charles A2 - Siemens, George A2 - Wise, Alyssa Friend A2 - Gaševic, Dragan AB - Learning for work takes various forms, from formal training to informal learning through work activities. In many work settings, professionals collaborate via networked environments leaving various forms of digital traces and “clickstream” data. These data can be exploited through learning analytics (LA) to make both formal and informal learning processes trace- able and visible to support professionals with their learning. This chapter examines the state-of-the-art in professional learning analytics (PLA) by considering how professionals learn, putting forward a vision for PLA, and analyzing examples of analytics in action in professional settings. LA can address affective and motivational learning issues as well as technical and practical expertise; it can intelligently align individual learning activities with organizational learning goals. PLA is set to form a foundation for future learning and work.
