Key players in the field have combined forces to add momentum to the creation of open source learning analytics.

This will enable educational institutions to create open or hybrid for fee/free analytics infrastructures. Analytics capacity will not therefore be locked into vendor solutions (e.g. with the change of a VLE) and analytics innovations should diffuse more rapidly and effectively.
