Abstract: Multimodal Learning Analytics (MMLA) has become a promising emerging concept, but higher education practitioners need to familiarize themselves with MMLA issues pertaining to the usage of multimodal approaches in the educational setting.The goal of this review analysis is therefore to identify, analyze and organize 'MMLA' literature, concentrating on how this new branch of Learning Analytics (LA) can broaden learning support without technology-mediated tools and the emergence of various educational platforms.This entry seeks to contribute to the knowledge discovery within Education Technology by exploring current methods and approaches to this immersive technique that can enable MMLA to thrive within and beyond the educational boundary, but also by highlighting key challenges currently experienced through the adoption and implementation processes.Thus, the Kitchenham and Charters methodology has been used to conduct this systematic review study on the Multimodal Learning Analytics and its support for educational activities.Analyzing and synthesizing the theoretical underpinnings of numerous studies, a total of 30 high-quality relevant literature meeting the inclusion criteria was considered.The findings of the review analysis presented several interesting methods and potential challenges identified by the different indicators and criteria which will be very useful for education providers or scientific community.The study also recommended a conceptual framework for what first-hand action would be required to develop an MMLA-based system that focuses on student learning and inclusive education.
