摘要

The adoption of learning analytics in the Higher Education sector is evolving fast, however, there are many challenges concerning privacy, ethics, security, and transparency. Despite HE Institutions having promised to improve student's learning experiences through the use of student data, students, to a large extent, are absent and verily in institutions policies and frameworks. This research investigated student perceptions of privacy principles in learning analytics through a rapid review of 12 papers. Results reveal that there is very limited research on students' perception of privacy and learning analytics, and inadequate insight into students' awareness of privacy principles in an educational context.
