خلاصه	Learning Analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, with the purpose of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs. Formally introduced by George Siemens and Phil Long in 2011, the approach draws on data generated in digital learning environments to provide educators, institutions, and learners with evidence-based feedback for improving educational outcomes.	Knowledge Space Theory (KST) is a combinatorial, set-theoretic framework for modeling and assessing human knowledge, introduced by Jean-Paul Doignon and Jean-Claude Falmagne in 1985. It represents a learner's competence as a subset of a problem domain, organizes all feasible competence subsets into a lattice called a knowledge space, and uses probabilistic inference to locate a learner within that space. The approach underlies adaptive testing and intelligent tutoring systems, offering a mathematically rigorous alternative to classical test theory.
