Repository of the Learning Analytics tool ANALYSE for Open edX platform

This repository contains the Open edX platform release "hotfix-2014-11-17" with ANALYSE module.

Overview of ANALYSE

ANALYSE is learning analytics tool developed for Open edX. This is a beta release which extends the learning analytics functionality of Open edX with 12 new visualizations. A new tab has been addded in the course dashboard to access ANALYSE. Some of the features are the next:

• The learning analytics dashboard has 3 visualizations related to exercises, 4 related to videos and 5 related to general course activity
• The instructors of a course can access the information about the aggregate of all students in a course an also each student individually. That allows instructor to keep track about how the course is progressing and control each student separately
• The students in a course can access their own information only which can be used for self-awareness and reflect on their learning process
• The different indicators are processed in background in regular intervals of time as schedule jobs by the use of Celery Beat
