The study was based on a case study of a professional services organisation that had recently implemented an extended learning system. The sample data was made up of learning data extracted from the Learner Records Store. The patterns in the data were examined to understand how learners interacted with the learning system. The results supported the role of using learning data to adapt learning offerings to better suit what the learners need.
