Estudio de aplicación de Learning Analytics en la Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The main objective of this curricular integration work is to propose a solution based on Learning Analytics, to help academic decision making at UCSG. Throughout the development of this project we had the knowledge about the lines of work of Learning Analytics, as well as the projects carried out in other universities and also the platforms used by UCSG for online teaching, which helped us in the development of the proposed solution. The research method used was descriptive, since interviews were conducted with experts in educational management and a staff of the Computer Center in order to analyze the processes of student academic monitoring and their needs for improvement and in turn analyze the process for obtaining the data collected by the platforms used by the university. The development of the solution proposals depended a lot on the needs presented by the student academic monitoring processes and the data that can be exploited and where to obtain them, in addition to the proposals, recommendations were provided so that the implementation of the proposals can be more feasible. With the development of this project it is expected to help with solutions for a better learning process for both the student and the teacher.
