MSys: An Activities Tracking Tool for E-learning Systems

E-learning content creation is not an easy task, but its evaluation is even more complex. In order to evaluate if the content is adequate to the students' needs, it would be helpful to know how the student assimilated the learning content, how he/she reacted to it and the period of time spent on the learning object. Besides, considering the different cognitive features of learning and the possibility of adjusting the didactic content, it could help teacher's evaluation in an available online course. This work describes a monitoring system (Msys) able to track the level of utilization of student's activities, and presents summarized and comparative results to the teacher and to the student. This paper describes how the MSys tool was created using current standards on digital content construction, defining functional requirements of interface to its development, presenting a proof-of concept and how it could be integrate to online learning systems, providing benefits to the teacher's evaluation.
