BASSANI, Rafael Vescovi  and  CAZELLA, Silvio César. THE ALIGNMENT BETWEEN LEARNING ANALYTICS AND THE GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW. ETD - Educ. Temat. Digit. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.4, pp.1022-1040. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v23i4.8658829.

The growth of the distance education modality allows researchers to present varied studies related to the theme. Together with these studies emerge concepts such as Learning Analytics (LA). The LA is an area that will analyze, measure, collect and relate student data in their contexts. However, the use of this data brings with it a new concern regarding the protection, privacy and correct use of the data. The European Union already finds personal data protection legislation with a broad General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This article aims to present the result of a Systematic Literature Review that search to identify academic research related to Learning Analytics (LA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). After applying the inclusion and exclusion requirements of the selected articles ten articles were selected for analysis. With the analysis it is possible to identify an alignment between the LA and GDPR showing that LA should follow the guidelines of GDPR.

Keywords : Systematic literature review; Learning Analytics and General Data Protection Regulation.
