Monitoring of Learning by Student through Learning Analytics Dashboards Moodle Virtual Environment
The monitoring of learning by the student himself has been studied under self-regulated learning. Research indicates that apprentices with high levels of self-regulation are more likely to remain active throughout a course. Learning Analytics Dashboards (LAD) has great potential to be used as tools to support the monitoring and monitoring of learning. LAD typically captures and graphically tracks student learning activities, especially in Virtual Learning Environments (VLE), to promote awareness and reflection and allow students to track their progress and monitor their behavior. However, it was found that most of the available LAD applications are developed to support teachers. That is, few applications of this type are explicitly addressed to students to reflect performance in their learning activities. In this sense, this work has the general objective of presenting the DashLearner tool that is a Moodle plugin developed to make possible students' monitoring of learning. The expectation is that the availability of a plugin with these characteristics, for a widely used VLE, can foster and expand self-regulation of learning by the student. The work presents the results' discussion of using the DashLearner with a class of a discipline of an undergraduate course and a class of a discipline of a specialization course.
