  This chapter aims to stress the importance of addressing culture when
designing and implementing learning analytics services. Learning analytics have
been implemented in different countries with the purpose of improving learning
and supporting teaching; yet, largely at a limited scale and so far with
limited evidence of achieving their purpose. Even though some solutions seem
promising, their transfer from one country to another might prove challenging
and sometimes impossible due to various technical, social, contextual and
cultural factors. In this chapter, we argue for a need to carefully consider
one of these factors, namely cultural values when designing and implementing
learning analytics systems. Viewing culture from a value-sensitive perspective,
in this chapter, we: 1)exemplify two selected values (i.e. privacy and
autonomy) that might play a significant role in the design of learning
analytics systems, and 2)discuss opportunities for applying culture-and
value-sensitive design methods that can guide the design of culturally aware
learning analytics systems. Finally, a set of design implications for
culturally aware and value-sensitive learning analytics services is offered.
