Abstract
As in other research fields, the development of learning analytics is influenced by the networks of
researchers that contribute to it. This paper describes one of such networks: the Spanish Network of
Learning Analytics (SNOLA). The paper presents the research lines of the members of SNOLA, as well
as the main challenges that learning analytics has to address in the next few years as perceived by these
researchers. This analysis is based on SNOLA’s archival data and on a survey carried out to the current
members of the network. Although this approach does not cover all the activity related to learning
analytics in Spain, the results provide a representative overview of the current state of research related
to learning analytics in this context. The paper describes these trends and the main challenges, among which we can point out the need to adopt an ethical commitment with data, to develop systems that
respond to the requirements of the end users, and to reach a wider institutional impact
