A Learning Analytics Approach for Student Performance Assessment

Due to the increasing interest in big data especially in the educational field and online education has led to a conflict in terms of performance indicators of the student. In this paper we discuss the methodology of assessing the student performance in terms of the success indicators revealing a number of indicators that is recommended to indicate success of the final academic achievement.
