Una herramienta para el seguimiento del profesorado universitario en Entornos Virtuales de Aprendizaje/A tool for monitoring lecturers' interactions with Learning Management Systems

Learning Management Systems' (LMS) interaction mechanisms are mainly focused on the improvement of students' experiences and academic results. However, special attention should also be given to the interaction between these LMS and other actors involved in the educational process. This paper specifically targets the interaction of degree coordinators with LMS when monitoring lecturers' performance, especially in an online mode. The methodology is guided by the following three objectives: (1) analysis of the limitations of monitoring lecturers in current LMS; (2) development of software program to overcome such limitations; and (3) empirical evaluation of the proposed program. The results show that this type of tool helps coordinators to intuitively and efficiently analyze the status of the subjects taught in their degree programs.
