Abstract

This article presents the application of Learning Analytics techniques (LA) in the mass Telelab courses, focusing on the implementation of the teaching process learning MOOCs , through the analysis and prediction of Big Data Education (BDE ) . For this, we carried out a systematic review of these subjects and applied LA techniques in the analysis of Telelab data . It was noted the difficulty in working with large amounts of heterogeneous educational data (about 56,000 students) in order to obtain relevant information to improve the travel experience . However , using statistical techniques , some patterns could be located , highlighting strengths and weaknesses of Telelab that need attention.
