Learning analytics for enhancing the usability of serious games in formal education: A systematic literature review and research agenda.

In recent years, the interest in the use of serious games as teaching and learning tools in traditional educational processes has increased significantly. Serious Educational Games (SEG) and Learning Analytics (LA) are gaining increasing attention from teachers and researchers, since they both can improve the learning quality. In this article, we aimed to examine, summarize and characterize the current state of the art related to the application of LA to SEGs through a systematic literature review based on a methodological instrument called PRISMA.
