learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimising learning and the
environments in which it occurs, as defined back in 2011 for the first LAK, this general definition
still holds true even as the field has grown.

It leverages technologies like Big Data and artificial intelligence to collect, process, and use
data to improve learning outcomes, personalize education, and support institutional
decision-making.
