the last years. The increase in the use of mobile
devices, puts some more challenges, since the site is
not prepared to those types of accesses. Thus, we
should consider adapting the platform. We hope that
this can increase the participation of the students.
7 FINAL REMARKS
Learning Analytics have become popular in the
literature. In this work, we present some instruments,
such as Google Analytics, Course Dedication, and
Moodle Reports, that can help to improve the students
learning, based in this concept.
We described the project that we intended to
improve and that is going on for some years in
ISCAP/P.PORTO.
This paper constitutes an important reflexion for
the members of the project. It was verified that many
of the materials available are not used, and that the
students prefer to access the quizzes.
In the future we are planning to inquiry the
students about the reason for accessing mostly this
type of resources. We also intend to define strategies
to promote the other resources, since we consider that
these are important tools to improve students’
learning. Also, we are planning to implement
predictive analytics, and other analytics resources that
can improve the success of the students.
