Abstract

The introduction and use of on-line learning resources has improved students learning process in several aspects. But at the same time, it also introduced more complexity and made more difficult to teachers how to analyze learning evolution and improvement of students. In this paper, we propose a first approach how to visualize and analyze student interaction with on-line learning systems and Virtual Learning Environments (VLE).

We present a piece of software that collects information on the interaction of the students with the Moodle VLE and that it displays to teachers in a more analytical way. The interaction data is displayed to support teacher interpretation from a learning point of view, with the inclusion of automatically generated textual explanations about the analysis of such data.
