With the progressively inclusion of online learning in Higher Education, blended learning is a reality which makes easier the inclusion of learning analysis with less human effort. This paper describes an exploratory analysis of the online activity in the official Learning Management System of 2nd-year students in a course at the Telecommunication Engineering Degree at the University of Vigo for three consecutive academic years. We conclude there is a correlation between the interaction of the students in the LMS and their final marks. Besides, we have obtained temporal behaviour patterns for successful and unsuccessful students. Thus, it is possible the early detection of students who are not interacting as they are supposed to do when following the course and, consequently, to trigger alarms for both students and professors. Besides, professors would have a good feedback system to improve the course design in short-term.Read More
