# Let(\')s audit Learning Analytics #
# LaLA: Let(\')s audit Learning Analytics #
"Let's audit Learning Analytics" (LaLA) is a Moodle plugin to enable administrators and auditors of Moodle Learning Analytics
models to retrieve evidence for their audit, like the sample data collected on the Moodle instance, the calculated features
and predictions made by the model.

TODO Describe the plugin shortly here.
Machine learning models have often been found to be unfair, for example, when they produce more errors for certain groups[^1].
To ensure that unfair models are not deployed in Moodle Learning Analytics (LA) and to guarantee the trustworthiness of the
deployed models, it is crucial to audit their fairness before deployment.
However, Moodle currently lacks the necessary auditability features, specifically, it does not store and make available
evidence that can be used to prove or disprove fairness claims. To address this lack of evidence, we developed a plugin
that allows developers and administrators to train and test an LA model configuration while also storing the intermediate
results and providing these data sets as downloads. By enabling fairer LA models and increasing trust in their predictions,
we hope to reach more learners and maximize the potential benefits of these models.

TODO Provide more detailed description here.
