Um mecanismo para apoiar a análise da interação e do desempenho de alunos em ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem

Abstract

This research provides a mechanism to support the analysis and comparison of the interaction and the performance of students in the Moodle virtual learning environment through mobile devices and desktop computers. The proposed mechanism is based on a plugin provided to validation of teachers and tutors in classes and distance education. The methodology used in this survey was exploratory and was conducted through a case study where a comparison of two classes were made, one using conventional Moodle and the other using Moodle application for mobile devices. The goal was to identify relevant elements in the data records and access logs of VLE Moodle that could provide some information regarding student interaction and performance, and so determine the correlation that exists between these elements by statistical analysis. The motivation for this study began from the observation of distance education courses taught by the UFAM CED where a significant rate of withdrawal was detected. It is hoped that this research makes it possible to find elements that support using preventive measures and thus contribute to combating the disapproval, withdrawal and school evasion
