A learning analytics tool for monitoring and improving students' learning process

摘要

A learning analytics tool that facilitates teachers in monitoring students' learning process and enables them to early recognize the signs of failure was developed. The tool was added to an e-learning system based on Moodle operated by a primary school. Two parallel classes (i.e., an experimental group and a control group) of students were involved in the research for duration of one semester. The statistical test results showed that better learning improvement occurred to the experimental group with an increase in the average marks by 5.3 (out of 100 points). The use of learning analytics has helped improve the effectiveness of the students' learning process.
