Abstract: Normally, Learning Analytics (LA) can be focused on the analysis of the learning process or the student behavior. In this paper is analyzed the use of LA in the context of distance learning universities, particularly focuses on the students’ behavior. We propose to use a new concept, called "Autonomic Cycle of Learning Analysis Tasks", which defines a set of tasks of LA, whose common objective is to achieve an improvement in the process under study. In this paper, we develop the "Autonomic Cycle of LA Tasks" to analyze the dropout in distance learning institutions. We use a business intelligence methodology in order to develop the "Autonomic Cycle of LA Tasks" for the analysis of the dropout in distance learning. The Autonomic Cycle identifies factors that influence the decision of a student to abandon their studies, predicts the potentially susceptible students to abandon their university studies, and define a motivational pattern for these students.  Spanish Abstract: Normalmente, La Análitica del Aprendizaje puede enfocarse en el análisis del proceso de aprendizaje, o en el análisis del comportamiento del estudiante. En este artículo se analiza el uso de LA en el contexto de las universidades a distancia, centrándonos particularmente en el comportamiento de los estudiantes. Para ello, proponemos utilizar un nuevo concepto, llamado "Ciclo Autonómico de Tareas de Análitica del Aprendizaje", que define un conjunto de tareas de LA, cuyo objetivo común es lograr una mejora en el proceso bajo estudio. En este artículo se desarrolla el "Ciclo Autonómico de Tareas LA" para analizar la deserción estudiantil en las instituciones de educación a distancia. Para ello, utilizamos una metodología de inteligencia de negocios con el fin de desarrollar dicho ciclo para el análisis de la deserción en el aprendizaje a distancia. El Ciclo Autonómico identifica factores que influyen en la decisión del estudiante de abandonar sus estudios universitarios, predice los estudiantes potencialmente susceptibles a desertar, y define un patrón de motivación para estos estudiantes.

Predictive Learning Analytics (PLA) aim to improve learning by identifying students at risk of failing their studies. Yet, little is known about how best to integrate and scaffold PLA initiatives into higher education institutions. Towards this end, it becomes essential to capture and analyze the perceptions of relevant educational stakeholders (i.e., managers, teachers, students) about PLA. This paper presents an “at scale” implementation of PLA at a distance learning higher education institution and details, in particular, the perspectives of 20 educational managers involved in the implementation. It concludes with a set of recommendations about how best to adopt and apply large-scale PLA initiatives in higher education.

Purpose – Ten years ago Penna, the global HR services group, needed a radical business and culture re-invention if it was to survive. This article aims to tell the story behind Penna's journey and describe how a sustainable culture change intervention became the cornerstone of a successful business. Design/methodology/approach – This case study is the result of an initial ethnographical research followed by concrete and systemic interventions. Findings – The case study identifies four elements that sustained the business impact of a culture change program over a significant period of time. Originality/value – This longitudinal case study follows a culture change program in an organizational context over a period of ten years.
