“…Most of the universities base their teaching and learning methodologies on face-to-face interaction. However, the online activities are growing up and platforms like Moodle have become ubiquitous tools (Esnaola-Arribillaga and Bezanill, 2020). This increase in the online activities use results in different issues that must be discussed.…”

“…In this framework, the online learning questionnaires have become one of the most important issues, because the modularity and analysis of each block or component of the equipment are used for developing different questionnaires (Esnaola-Arribillaga and Bezanill, 2020). These questionnaires are a powerful tool because they are easy to use anywhere and anytime, give a quick feedback for students, and allow teaching staff to have a complete assessment picture about the acquired knowledge and competences, among others.…”

This paper resumes the main ideas to develop different sets of questionnaires based on renewable energy research equipment to improve online learning in engineering education. These educational activities, on the one hand, promote the connection between technological and education environments and, on the other hand, improve the motivation for studying theoretical and practical issues. The implementation of the proposed teaching and learning tasks will contribute to integrate students with different motivation and attitudes since the use of the close physical equipment for questionnaires development has an evident educational benefit when using it as a study model. The evolution of technological environments to educational units involves a functional Disassembly/Analyze/Assembly conversion to different modules adapted to specific subjects, the link with the theoretical knowledge, and finally, the questionnaire construction. The combination proposed offers the following positive results in master or grade studies: the effectiveness of competences training is improved, the students experimental work progresses significantly and the students’ motivation for better theory comprehension is more intensively developed. The use of these kind of questionnaires as educational tools is not new and their advantages are well known: the quick feedback results and the systematic data collection to support the educational proposal effectiveness, among others. Nevertheless, this tool has become a necessity with the massive use of online education. In summary, promoting the evolution of engineering education to online techniques and the use of renewable energy research equipment to promote the students’ vision on social necessities are two examples of educational goals stated in this paper.

“…Few studies have been conducted to examine the affordances of an educational platform in a detailed and comprehensive way, using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Second, the extant models that assess educational platforms focus either on the technological aspect of use or on the learning outcomes related to pedagogical objectives (Esnaola-Arribillaga & Bezanilla, 2020). Little research has provided a theoretical perspective to evaluate the affordances of a learning system.…”

This study examined the affordances of an online learning platform used in a Chinese university for online teaching and learning during the pandemic period. A usefulness theoretical perspective was adopted to examine three types of affordances of the platform, namely, educational affordances, social affordances, and technological affordances. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed, including survey questionnaires, observation, and semi-structured interviews. A range of educational affordances emerged from the results, including Representation, Resource sharing, Community-building, Promoting interaction, and Administration. However, despite the respondents’ perceived ease of use of the platform, results indicate that the platform played a limited role in increasing learners’ social presence. A framework for examining usefulness has been developed based on the results. Pedagogical implications are proposed and suggestions for future research are provided.

“…Learning management systems (LMSs) are implemented in order to improve educational quality, but the analysis of the impact on learning is still a subject of recent research (Arriaran Olalde & Ipina Larrannaga, 2019; Mwalumbwe & Mtebe, 2017). Moodle is a platform that has become very popular (Alexandre Scherbyna, 2020), but problems have also arisen due to the lack of knowledge of all its tools and in the correct use of these (Ribeiro & Montanaro, 2017); for example, one of the reasons is that some of its functionalities are poorly known (Esnaola-Arribillaga & Bezanilla, 2020). The use of virtual learning environments has become a constant need; therefore, it must be part of the skills of the 21st-century teacher.…”

The objective of the research is to develop a methodology to analyse a set of data extracted from a learning management system, in order to implement a dashboard, which can be used by teachers to make timely and relevant decisions to improve the teaching–learning processes. The methodology used consisted of analysing 9,257 records extracted through simple random sampling from a population of 100,000 records. The indicators analysed were number of accesses, course grades, time spent, number of courses enrolled and number of activities developed. The results show that the data analysis was carried out on the (o Konstanz Information Miner (KNIME) data mining analysis platform, and the model was implemented in five phases: requirements definition, model design, development, implementation and evaluation of results. The results are taken as a recommendation to design and implement a customised dashboard for teachers to identify observable behavioural patterns that allow them to make decisions to improve the teaching–learning processes of students.
