Abstract
The Learning Analytics and Policy (LAP) workshop explores and documents the ways in which policies at national and regional level are shaping the development of learning analytics. It brings together representatives from around the world who report on the circumstances in their own country. The workshop is preceded by an information gathering phase, and followed by the authoring of a report. The aspirations, achievements and constraints in the different countries are contrasted and documented, providing a valuable resource for the future development of learning analytics.
