Abstract: Human-Centred Learning Analytics (HCLA) has emerged in the last 5 years as an active
sub-topic within Learning Analytics, drawing primarily on the theories and methods of
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). HCLA researchers and practitioners are adopting and
adapting HCI theories/methods to meet the challenge of meaningfully engaging educational
stakeholders in the LA design process, evaluating systems in use, and researching the
sociotechnical factors influencing LA successes and failures. This editorial introduces the
contributions of the papers in this special section, reflects more broadly on the field’s
emergence over the last five years, considers known gaps, and indicates new opportunities
that may open in the next five years.
