Abstract
In this digital era where educational institutions are transforming in a digital environment, many have realised the significance of learning analytics to augment student learning. This enquiry primarily discourses on the benefits and challenges for Higher education and its implications for the National University of Samoa. The purpose is to consolidate all the efforts of the different sections of NUS dealing with teaching, learning, assessments and student data to enhance its consultative process with the aim of strengthening its data competence and data management processes. The enquiry proposes that relevant sections within NUS work together to introduce and adopt Learning Analytics for improved Teaching and Learning Excellence at the University.
