Résumé
This paper explores the relationship between learning analytics and data management practices. With the increasing digitalization of education, learning platforms like Moodle have become ubiquitous in higher education. While these platforms offer personalized learning pathways for students, they require extensive data collection, raising concerns about personal data management. Despite its usefulness, learning analytics presents significant challenges regarding data protection. Students are often inadequately informed about how their data are being used. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enforces strict requirements, mandating explicit consent and transparency in data usage.An analysis of 60 IT policies from French universities reveals substantial gaps in the implementation of GDPR and data privacy measures. Most policies fail to explicitly address the use of learning analytics data, highlighting an urgent need for updates and greater awareness among both students and educational institutions.
