Use of analytics to improve student behavior and performance in an online course implementation

This paper discusses the usage of learning analytics as a tool to enhance teaching methods. To achieve this, we will provide visual representations on the different teaching methods used and their relation to the performance of the students. We will also show possible relationships between the learning analytics and the student behavior and performance in the course, and the importance of data analytics in open online course implementations. In addition, the methods applied are explained. The system is implemented and run on existing data sets from MITx and HarvardX.
