Abstract—Learning Analytics (LA) is a better solution for harnessing the enormous data that learners leave behind on learning platforms. To take full advantage of it, it needs to be well integrated by teachers. The aim of this study was therefore to explore the needs and willingness of teachers to integrate learning analytics into their courses. This study used a quantitative method to collect data based on a questionnaire distributed to 140 higher education teachers affiliated with Ibn Tofail University. The results of this study show that most teachers are willing and available to commit to the possibility of adopting learning analytics if training and preparation programs on the subject are implemented. They also have other needs for guidance, assistance, easy-to-use tools, and need access to all student data on the appropriate platforms. The study concludes by discussing and proposing a series of recommendations for successfully integrating learning analytics into higher education.
