In a context where public and private institutions continuously seek excellence in management and improvement in service delivery, governance is one of the contemporary practices that has been adopted not only as a model for evaluation and monitoring, but also for transparency. To this end, the institutionalization of a governance model represents not only a challenge for public managers, but also the opportunity to make use of information technology, especially Business Intelligence, as a way to ensure agility in accessing and processing information. Through this work, we propose the construction of a prototype of a dashboard for the BI system to be adopted as a practice of governance by results in a Brazilian public institution, focusing on education, not only to support the decision making of managers, but also to allow efficiency and public transparency, and to minimize the difficulties in access, in the management of various BI systems and the informational asymmetries existing in the Public Administration.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are online courses with an unlimited number of participants and no entry requirements. Due to their massive and open nature, MOOCs have a high potential to offer access to education to millions of people worldwide. However, there are several challenges in MOOCs such as huge drop-out rates, improper automated assessments, diverse student engagement, and attention, etc. Learning Analytics is “the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs” (Society of Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR)) which can help us to contain such issues. This paper presents an initial analysis, using descriptive analytics, of the students’ activity in a MOOC for Mathematics. The analysis allowed the developers of the course to better understand some of the limitations and also some of the strengths of the course in order to continuously adapt it to the users’ needs and interests.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
This paper presents a part of a global proposal aimed to create and put forward an e–assessment strategy using tests with multiple–choice questions (MCQ) implemented in Moodle. This strategy was planned in order to allow the use of continuous summative assessment in mathematics’ courses in a higher education institution, in classes with a large number of students. The main goal of this work was to analyse how this procedure can affect the teaching and learning processes. Changes in educational practices were ascertained using interviews with teachers. It was found an improvement in the way teachers create questions as well as in teamwork promotion. Furthermore, teachers reported that they pay more attention now on how they teach. Thus, the implementation of this e–assessment approach can be considered successful, namely because it allowed an adequate response to the main needs initially identified.

This paper focus on the potential contributes of Learning Analytics in the improvement students learning. The analysis of student’s data collected from Virtual Learning Environments is important to ascertain student’s engagement. This paper presents the analysis of data collected in the ambit of MatActiva project. Data was analysed with Google Analytics, Course Dedication and Moodle Reports. Promising results were obtained.

e-Assessment in Mathematics Courses with Multiple-choice Questions Tests

Topic: Tools to Assess Learning

Author: José Manuel Azevedo

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
With the implementation of the Bologna Process several challenges have been posed to higher education institution, particularly in Portugal. One of the main implications is related to the change of the paradigm of a teacher centered education, to a paradigm that is student centered. This change implies the change of the way to assess courses in higher education institutions. Continuous and formative assessments emerged as the focus, catalyzed by electronic assessment, or e-assessment. This paper presents a case of the implementation of an e-assessment strategy, implemented in order to allow continuous, formative assessment in numerous mathematics classes using multiple-choice questions tests implement in Moodle open-source learning management system. The implementation can be considered a success.
