Learning analytics as a tool for academic monitoring of virtual students of University Technological Institutes
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article presents four categories of learning analytics tools: dashboards, specific tools, ad hoc tools, and learning analytics frameworks. It also describes the features of several tools within each of these categories: (1) Moodle Dashboard and Moodle's default reporting tool; (2) the Interactions tool and the Teamwork Assessment Tool; (3) SNAPP, GraphFES, and Moodle Engagement Analytics; and (4) VeLA and GISMO. The study focuses on how these tools can be used to analyze courses by collecting actual data from a course that extensively used forums, wikis, web resources, videos, quizzes, and assignments. The subsequent discussion highlights how these different tools complement each other and suggests the incorporation of basic dashboards into learning platforms and the adoption of external frameworks for learning analytics.
