Abstract

This paper analyzes some current trends in Learning Management System's analytics. It points out that while the analysis of access log patterns - clickometry - is by far the most common form of analysis available in LMS systems its value is limited at best. Being a measure of behavior in its most basic sense clickometry is best suited for assessment of interactions in courses built around behaviorist pedagogy. More constructivist pedagogies require deeper analyses of the data, which is certainly available in most LMS systems but are usually left unanalyzed and unreported due to the complexity of the required methodologies. This paper shows that 85% of available data is not typically analyzed and presents a case study with proposed analyses.
