Recent developments in Learning Analytics have attracted much attention from researchers and practitioners, as well as diverse stakeholders, in exploring the potential for Learning Analytics to enhance learning and teaching practices. Hence, this paper presents a literature review of the use of the Learning Analytics Intervention implemented in various educational institutions in order to improve students' success and engagement in their learning, particularly for at-risk students. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of how Learning Analytics Intervention has been utilised in the educational institution, the types of theory applied in the intervention and what tools are used in the intervention. Additionally, the application of Learning Analytics Intervention, its purpose, effects and examples are also discussed in this paper. The findings show that most of the Learning Analytics Interventions have an impact on students' success in their learning, although some of them have little impact or no significant effect, and various Learning Analytics tools and strategies are discovered. Lastly, it is suggested that further Learning Analytics Interventions should be developed in order to meet the needs of students.
