Seguimiento de la actividad y abandono en Moodle mediante la aplicación UBUMonitor

Abstract

Teaching with online learning platforms should simplify the monitoring of students’ activity, particularly when evaluating student dropout. Popular learning environments such as Moodle should implement visual analytic tools that facilitate such tasks, nevertheless, institutions are usually reluctant to incorporate them. This paper presents UBUMonitor, a desktop application that allows the visualization of student’s activity data, extended as a proof of concept with a module for dropout tracking. Therefore, by using UBUMonitor, teachers will be able to easily visualize their students’ engagement with their subject, which can facilitate early action to prevent students from dropping out more effectively
