The notion of human\u2010centred learning analytics addresses this in part by encouraging the involvement of stakeholders in the design process to incorporate lived experiences and enhance technical and pedagogical interactions. Design Thinking, an iterative, human\u2010centred approach, is particularly relevant as LA tools must not only process data but also support students'\n                      <jats:italic>evolving<\/jats:italic>\n                      needs. Its non\u2010linear nature allows continuous refinement through user feedback, yet its systematic, full application in LA tool development remains under\u2010explored.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This paper illustrates the non\u2010linear iterative use of design thinking phases to conceptualise, design, develop, deploy and evaluate a LA tool, to be used across various courses, with continuous involvement of students. This is to ensure the tool effectively addresses their evolving needs and real\u2010world learning contexts. Design thinking is applied within the context of the well documented educational challenge of capturing students' interactions with feedback (\n                      <jats:italic>traceability<\/jats:italic>\n                      ), specifically to capture, analyse and visualise students' interactions with feedback (i.e., feedback traceability).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Throughout the design process of the tool, various design thinking phases were conducted, revisited or repeated, involving a total of 86 higher education students across various phases through a participatory approach.

It illustrates the non\u2010linear use of various design phases to identify and translate six key student requirements to 8 design decisions for tool development. Students perceived the tool as helpful in consolidating and analysing feedback, planning next steps and improving grades by understanding common strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, the paper presents the resulting LA tool, which enables feedback traceability and documents its journey from ideation to full deployment and evaluation in an authentic learning environment. The paper concludes with key recommendations for managing student and research needs in LA tool development, along with strategies for balancing research and design tensions and offers insights to guide other researchers and designers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jcal.70190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,23]],"date-time":"2026-01-23T07:45:08Z","timestamp":1769154308000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Design Thinking and Learning Analytics: Involving Students in Designing a Feedback Tool From Ideation to Deployment"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-3268-0627","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bhagya","family":"Maheshi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-1825-4028","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Flora","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-0910-9822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mikaela Elizabeth","family":"Milesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2727-1179","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiruni","family":"Palihena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-7242-6135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ka Ho","family":"Ng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8375-1816","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto","family":"Martinez\u2010Maldonado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8967-5327","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yi\u2010Shan","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/3636555.3636847"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.caeai.2024.100215"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18608\/jla.2024.8487"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","first-page":"227","volume-title":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT)","author":"Bikanga Ada M.","year":"2017"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-031-02217-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","volume-title":"Participatory Design","author":"B\u00f8dker S.","year":"2017"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18608\/jla.2019.62.1"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0278\u20107393.27.6.1491"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11409\u2010006\u20106894\u2010z"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02602938.2018.1463354"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/caim.12153"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-030-57717-9_22"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","volume-title":"Design Thinking","author":"Clarke R.
