Abstract

Nowadays, when users using information systems, they generate a large amount of data leaving behind a trace as a result of their interaction, e.g., when students access educational materials on Virtual Learning Environments (VLE). This has developed into what we now know as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which have millions of registered students. Due to the large amount of data that is generated within these MOOCs, Learning Analytics (LA) has emerged as an alternative to improve teaching and learning processes through data analysis. Open edX in an attempt to incorporate Learning Analytics into its Insights development platform, which provides very simple visualizations. Likewise, other projects have been added, which over time have become obsolete or do not provide sufficient support to improve the learning process of students. Therefore, this study proposes the design, development, and evaluation of a learning analytics dashboard for the Open edX platform. The tool will incorporate indicators of student success in its visualizations to improve the learning process within the platform.
