LAK 14 stands for Learning Analytics and Knowledge (Conference) 2014. This is the fourth year of the conference, and I think a lot of data can come from this site. See the "Live Blogs and Notes" page for more information about the conference via blogs written as it occurred.
A good summary of how analytic tactics are used in the modern world. Amazing definition of learning analytics on page 4. Also has useful charts to help understand how different forms of data can be used in an educational setting.
A good resource to find other programs and organizations that are attempting to change the learning world. NGL provides grants to programs that use new technology to help students better learn. See the Break Through Model page under "Find" or "Discover's" many links for more information
LACE is a learning analytics project aimed at bringing together various projects from the learning analytics world. It's goal is to allow learning analytics to have a smooth transition of data between companies and programs, allowing for more effective support for students and teachers in the long run.

In development by Perdue University, the program entitled Signals allows students and teachers to monitor areas of difficulty. It uses a color system that informs the student of how he or she is doing in a subject, and even in a specific topic of a subject. This allows students to realize what they need to focus more on, or where they need help.
