MATEP: Monitoring and Analysis Tool for E-Learning Platforms

Abstract

Web-based learning environments are extensively used nowadays. At the moment of designing, implementing and managing e-learning courses, there have to be defined guidelines that guarantee the quality and excellence of these processes as well as controls of evaluation that assure the above mentioned quality. In this respect, in the LMS (learning management systems) the teacher has not got tools for assessing and measuring the performance of the students in their virtual courses. Therefore, we have developed a monitoring and analysis tool for e-learning platforms (MATEP) in the University of Cantabria (Spain) which is described in this paper.
