1. On-the-spot student performance analysis through visualization
American University of Beirut
Wissam Nahas – eLearning Manager

2. Our Objective
Help instructor and administration track student weekly performance during semesters
Give immediate feedback or advising in advance
Non-performant students require guidance or advising sessions in advance
Feedback at the end of the semester is not effective for recovery implementation
Loss of course learning outcomes

3. Course Logs
Moodle is powerful in gathering detailed logs within a course.
The logs include: time, user’s full name, affected user, event context, event name, description, IP address, ...

4. Log Limitations The logs are detailed but not readable
The data is tabular
It lacks visualization
Visuals are expressive

6. Work Flow

7. Analytic Tool Feed logs extracted from Moodle into analytic tool
Generate visuals
Through analysis of data based on the problem tackled
Charts help visualize patterns in data

8. Visuals
Patterns can be seen in behavior, performance, access, interactions, posting, submissions, navigation, and level of engagement
Visuals can be of different kinds depending on the data

9. Visuals Implemented
Participation is based on behavior in events and navigation to different events.
Contribution is based on posting to the forum and submissions of assignments and quizzes.

10. Programming language for statistical computing and graphics

11. Advantages
Flexible
Free
Easy access
User - friendly

12. Instructor Point of View
Tracking progress
Tracking contribution
Monitoring participation
Catching cheating in exams

13. Live Demo

14. What’s Next? Synchronization between Moodle and the Analytic Tool
Incorporate more visuals depending on instructor need and data analysis
Implement cheating detection
Apply machine learning to predict student Grade
