Abstract
Our goal in this work was to provide interested academics with up-to-date information on the latest findings and investigations concerning student performance analysis and learning analytics in massively open online courses (MOOCs). Examining the application of performance prediction and learning analytics in MOOCs is the goal of this. To introduce readers to our work, we first provide literature-based explanations of key concepts. To help understand the relative relevance of the qualities and their relationships, details on a number of studies were then provided. Next is a summary of the outcomes of learning analytics and student performance prediction applied to MOOCs.
