Learning analytics (LA) collects, analyses, and reports big data about learners to optimise learning. LA ethics is an interdisciplinary field of study that addresses moral, legal, and social issues; therefore, institutions are responsible for implementing frameworks that integrate these topics. Many of the ethical issues raised apply equally to educational data sets of any size. However, in this study, we focus on big data that increases the scale and granularity of data gathered. The purpose of this study is twofold: (a) to critically review the published (2011–2018) scientific literature on LA ethics issues and (b) to identify current trends and answer research questions in the field. This study’s research questions are as follows: what is essential in LA ethics for key educational stakeholders, and what should a proposed checklist for LA ethics include for specific educational stakeholders? After systematically searching online bibliographic databases, journals, and conferences, a literature review identified 53 articles from a sample of 562. The selected articles, based on critical and qualitative content analysis, were exhaustively analysed. The findings demonstrate the shortage of empirical evidence-based guidelines on LA ethics and highlight the need to establish codes of practices to monitor and evaluate LA ethics policies. Finally, this work proposes a useful checklist as an instructional design model for scholars, policymakers, and instructional designers, so that trusted partners may use LA responsibly to improve teaching and learning.

学习分析（LA）收集，分析和报告有关学习者的大数据，以优化学习。洛杉矶伦理学是一个涉及道德，法律和社会问题的跨学科研究领域；因此，机构负责实施整合了这些主题的框架。提出的许多道德问题同样适用于任何规模的教育数据集。但是，在这项研究中，我们关注于大数据，这些大数据增加了所收集数据的规模和粒度。这项研究的目的是双重的：（a）批判性地审查已发表的（2011-2018）关于洛杉矶伦理问题的科学文献；（b）识别当前趋势并回答该领域的研究问题。这项研究的研究问题如下：对于主要的教育利益相关者，洛杉矶道德中必不可少的是什么，提议的洛杉矶道德清单应包括哪些针对特定教育利益相关者的清单？在系统地搜索在线书目数据库，期刊和会议之后，文献综述从562个样本中识别出53篇文章。根据重要和定性的内容分析，对选定的文章进行了详尽的分析。调查结果表明，缺乏基于经验的基于证据的洛杉矶道德规范指南，并突出了建立监督和评估洛杉矶道德政策的行为准则的必要性。最后，这项工作提出了一个有用的清单，作为学者，政策制定者和教学设计师的教学设计模型，以便可信赖的合作伙伴可以负责任地使用洛杉矶来改善教学。
