Learning analytics are a concept that has been emerging under a number of different names through the past decades. Its origins lie in research in data mining and intelligent tutoring systems. LA tools can be categorised in a number of ways. The diagram below describes such tools by how deeply they are integrated with other systems ([http://www.netdimensions.com/downloads-2015/others/lms-evolution-or-extinction.pdf?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRokuKjMZKXonjHpfsX56OQtW6CwlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4DTsdlI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFS7fAMaFl3bgIWBY%3D source]).
