This paper focuses on learning analytics framework behind Math Elements mathematics game. The game, was introduced at ECGBL 2012. The novelty value of this design study is in development process of visualizing and data mining technologies behind the learning analytics. The analytic tools provide 1) easy access to follow progress and 2) real time analysis on the learning process. The analytics gives fast and easy to understand view into learning process, still supporting the story, the game play and motivation towards game play. In this paper we show the user centered development process, the improvements done according to user feedback and open the future research focuses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

International Educational performance measures, like the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), rank countries based on their educational system's performance. However, these activities require years of work for thousands of people to collect, analyze and report the data. Furthermore, the results are always two years old when published and there are tens of missing countries. In this study, a global game-based analytics was introduced and evaluated in a real world environment. The paper continues the study reported in ECGBL 2013. Real-time game-based assessments do have several advantages compared to traditional measures, but they are not yet ready to replace PISA. For example, sample collection has to be radically improved in order to minimize noise and bring out only the valid cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
