Learning Analytics as Data driven decision making in High Education: a case study

Abstract

[EN] This work leads with the application of Learning Analytics (LA) methods in high education as data driven for making decision, where a real case study is presented. The LA method has been applied to a course on HVAC Facilities and Energetic Certification of the Master in Industrial Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), Spain. Thus, data collected during the whole academic year 2020-2021 by the institutional LMS platform of UPV have been analyzed. Results show that LA can be a successful data driven for detecting the students at risk, boosting their retention, personalizing contents and improving students learning. Finally, a tailored dashboard is proposed for students’ improvement monitoring.
