Abstract
In the past decade, the applications of big data and learning analytics in education have made significant headways resulting in new opportunities for educational research. However, big data analytics (BDA) has brought new challenges to educational analytics. This paper conducts a systematic data-driven Literature review of BDA in education. Using a topic modeling approach, we have identified six topics and 19 subtopics and performed a network analysis to explore the links between the topics. Based on the results, we investigate the challenges in the field and conclude a three-dimensional model for educational BDA to address these challenges.
