Evaluation of an elearning platform featuring learning analytics and gamification

Abstract

This paper presents an initial evaluation of an innovative web-based eLearning platform, featuring Learning Analytics and Gamification called ICTFLAG. Previous contributions presented the development and prototyping steps of the platform, and following these steps, this paper reports the evaluation on the first real experience of connecting and integrating the platform with a eLearning tool to support an online course by learning analytics services. Results of the evaluation serves as a first validation of the platform and guide the next iterative software development and evaluation process. The research reported in this paper is currently undertaken within the research project “Enhancing ICT education through Formative assessment, Learning Analytics and Gamification” (ICT-FLAG) funded by the Spanish Government.
