Evaluation of a Learning Analitics Tool for LMS

We have developed several tools to allow instructors analyzing students’ interactions in a Course Management System. In this paper we describe a Systematic Usability Evaluation made to test the usability of one of these tools, based on cookies. The evaluations were based on task analysis and follow-up studies. In addition to regular observation and questionnaires, 3D video was used to provide the evaluator with more information about interactions. The use of this technology helped us in identifying functions and features that need to be improved.
