Abstract

The contribution describes and problematizes the use of learning analytics within a blended university course based on a socio-constructivist approach and aimed at constructing artefacts and knowledge. Specifically, the authors focus on the assessment system adopted in the course, deliberately inspired by the principles of formative assessment: an ongoing assessment in the form of feedback shared with the students, and which integrates the teacher’s assessment with self-assessment and peer-assessment. This system obviously requires the integration of qualitative procedures - from teachers and tutors - and quantitative - managed through the reporting functions of the LMS and online tools used for the course. The contribution ends with a reflection on the possibilities of technological development of learning analytics within the learning environment, such as to better support constructivist teaching: Learning Analytics that comes closest to social LA techniques providing the teacher with a richer picture of the student’s behaviour and learning processes
