Resumo

This paper presents a systematic literature review in Learning Analytics with the aim of providing a general overview for researchers about the current state of this area and in which educational contexts it has been applied. A five-step process was followed.

Those questions allowed to direct the search to find relevant documents in this area, then a filtering process was carried out, followed by an evaluation process and finally, the analysis of the information to answer the questions proposed initially.
