LAK27 — International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge 2027

LAK27, the 2027 International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge, runs 8–12 March 2027 in Recife, Brazil, hosted by CESAR and the Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco for the Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR), which marks 17 years of LAK conferences in 2027. The theme is leveraging learning analytics to help individuals and communities thrive. Pre-conference days carry workshops and tutorials, a doctoral consortium and the LAK & AI Agents (LAKAIA) Academy, followed by the research track, practitioner reports, posters and interactive demos. In a trial announced in July 2026, LAK27's long and short research papers will be published as a special issue of the Journal of Learning Analytics rather than as ACM proceedings. AI work is in scope where it connects to learning processes or stakeholder action.

For a university CIO, chief learning officer or EdTech product leader deciding how to use AI and learner data, LAK is where evidence on what actually improves learning outcomes is presented, including a dedicated practitioner track and an AI agents academy. Its scope rule, which excludes generic model benchmarking unconnected to learning, keeps sessions focused on interventions, evaluation and organisational change at scale — the questions an institution has to answer before buying or building analytics and AI tutoring systems.

• ✓Research Track: full (10–14 pages) and short (6–8 pages) papers in JLA format
• ✓Practitioner Track reports
• ✓Posters and interactive demos
• ✓Pre-conference workshops and tutorials
• ✓Pre-conference Doctoral Consortium
• ✓Pre-conference LAK & AI Agents (LAKAIA) Academy
• ✓Theme: Leveraging learning analytics to help individuals and communities thrive

• ★SoLAR's flagship conference, marking 17 years of LAK in 2027.
• ★Trial change: LAK27 research papers will be published as a Journal of Learning Analytics special issue instead of ACM proceedings (announced 15 July 2026).
• ★Explicit scope rule: AI benchmarking or model optimisation without a connection to learning processes is out of scope.
• ★Pre-conference LAK & AI Agents (LAKAIA) Academy alongside the doctoral consortium.
