Abstract	The use ofLearning Analytics (LA) has shown significant improvements in online learning environments. This paper intends to discuss the challenges of applyingLA in the context of elementary schools of India.Out of many challenges, we focus on solving the unavailability of school data in digital format. Most of the data in such schools is stored on physical mediums like notebooks. These schools also lack the critical resources like the availability of computing devices, internet and digitally literate manpower.As the primary outcome of this paper, we propose a data collection system, named as OSLA, which provides multiple ways of data collection in resource constrained environment. OSLA distributes the need of resources across different touchpoints to tolerate the unavailability of specific computing device, internet and digitally literate manpower.
