“…According to previous research [2], [3], [4]., the most meaningful visualizations are based on content analysis because they help not only the students to find new and interesting information but also the teachers to evaluate how students comprehend and apply the concepts that are relevant to the subject matter. The next step in the research plan is to study how to automate or semi-automate the connection between keywords and contents.…”

“…1 students' activity; and traditional timelines with deadlines marked by the teacher represent students' activity over time. The visualizations are connected in a way that changes made in one visualization are automatically reflected in the other visualizations [4]. The users can easily filter information according to the different dimensions, which offer the teachers diverse possibilities to investigate students' activity and participation in real time during the course, and thus, for example, help to identify either passive students who might be at risk of failing or dropping out of the course or undesirable behavior such as procrastination (i.e., the tendency to postpone important tasks), which has a negative impact on learning [4].…”

“…In earlier research, we concentrated on researching learning analytics and user data visualizations in a social media enhanced learning environment from the learner's perspective [1], [2], [3], [4]. In an educational context, learning analytics tools for teachers are as remarkable as learning analytics tools for the learners.…”

“…The use of social media enhanced learning environments in teaching and learning is common nowadays, as it enables teachers to record and store data on students' communicative, collaborative, and participative actions automatically [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Before the data stored in log files can be utilized for didactical purposes, the data need to be analyzed using methods of learning analytics.…”

In this paper, we introduce the results of a study concerning the usefulness of learning analytics tools implemented in the TUT Circle, a social media enhanced learning environment, from the teachers' point of view. According to the results of the study, learning analytics tools with interactive visualizations can help teachers utilize data about students' actions recorded in log files of learning environments for didactical purposes. The tool can help teachers to make decisions regarding potential pedagogical strategies, instructional guidance, actions, and interventions that may be used to support student participation and activity. The ability to access real time information about students' actions, compare students' activities during the course, and identify students who might be at risk of failing or dropping out are of significant benefit to the teachers. However, in order to support teachers in obtaining more practical value from the learning analytics tools the controls for specifying the data and manipulating views need to be developed further.

Abstract. This paper presents a tool called iTimeline (time line intelligent) mediated by Intelligent Agents (AIs), whose main objective is to help teachers who teach classes in a Virtual IntroduçãoOs Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem (AVA), são plataformas que apoiam o Ensino a Distância (EaD). Esses ambientes têm mostrado sua importância nesta era moderna e tecnológica e tem exigido dos estudiosos uma atenção especial quanto ao enorme número de interações entre os alunos, e como analisar de maneira rápida esse grande volume de dados interacionais.Algumas ferramentas interativas são utilizadas para facilitar no processo de ensino-aprendizagem e estimular a colaboração e interação entre os participantes de um curso baseado na web [Fuks et al. 2004] e se fazem necessárias no Ensino a Distância. Além disso, tais tecnologias, estão sendo introduzidas há algum tempo nesta modalidade de ensino e aprendizagem virtual. Todavia, é relevante ressaltar que entre essas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TICs), estão presentes os Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem, que possuem uma carência considerável de ferramentas para subsidiar o mediador na visualização das interações entre os alunos [Neto et. al. 2016].
