Integrations with Moodle
A number of systems integrate with Moodle to provide learning analytics information externally.
- Moodle Activity Viewer (MAV) (Git), consider Heatmap as an alternative
- Intelliboard
- Analytika
- Learning Locker, can be used with Logstore xAPI
- SmartKlass
Dimensions of Analytics
Learning analytics are a concept that has been emerging under a number of different names through the past decades. Its origins lie in research in data mining and intelligent tutoring systems. LA tools can be categorised in a number of ways. The diagram below describes such tools by how deeply they are integrated with other systems (source).
