They may apply to students, courses, cohorts, or any other entity in Moodle. One model that is included with Moodle core is [[Students at risk of dropping out]], which makes predictions about the future performance of all students enroled in current courses (those with a start date in the past and an end date in the future). The system is flexible and allows the creation of many other types of models, as well. Each model is defined around one '''target'''. See [[Learning analytics targets]] for more details.
