The paper discusses results of a survey focusing on student expectations and experiences on learning analytics and tools used for supporting self-regulation. The students participating in the survey were from three different organisations and they were also users of three different learning platforms. The results show differences between the students’ self-efficacy levels and identified tools and pedagogical solutions in each platform. The paper also discusses students’ preferences and need for learning analytics dashboards and peer comparisons as well as their potential for functioning as supporting measures for self-regulation.
