“…This last issue is very important in this case, because it facilitates the access to learners' and teachers' activity stored in the LMS [50]. The use of web services to access the LMS makes the VeLA system independent of the programming language in which the LMS is implemented, as well as independent of a specific version of the selected LMS.…”

The application of the Information and Communication Technologies to teaching and learning processes is linked to the development of new tools and services that can help students and teachers. Learning platforms are a clear example of this. They are very popular tools in eLearning contexts and provide different kinds of learning applications and services. In addition, these environments also register most of the interactions between the learning process stakeholders and the system. This information could potentially be used to make decisions but usually it is stored as raw data, which is very difficult to understand. This work presents a system that employs visual learning analytic techniques to facilitate the exploitation of that information. The system presented includes several tools that make possible to explore issues such as: when interaction is carried out, which contents are the most important for users, how they interact with others, etc. The system was tested in the context of a software engineering subject, taking into account the stored logs of five academic years. From this analysis it is possible to see how visual analytics can help decision-making and in this context how it helps to improve educational processes.

“…It is one of the most popular LCMSs all over the world, it is also: 1) open source; 2) developed and supported by an international community with more than 1,000,000 members [7]; 3) a system with more than 53,000 installed servers in which there are more than 71 million students; 4) translated into more than 75 languages [8]; 5) very successful in different institutions [9]; and 6) it includes a Web service layer that opens it to new technologies and facilitates its integration with service-oriented architectures [10,11].…”

Learning is something that not only happens in formal contexts linked to institutions. Learning also happens outside of them. One of the contexts where the individuals also learn is in the workplace. In order this learning to be effective, the same tools used in the institutional context can be used. Learning platforms are a clear example of this, although not always the requirements for these tools in business contexts are the same than in formal educational ones. This paper presents the experience of the definition, deployment and adaptation of a learning platform for the SunEdison company, with very specific requirements specially with regard to the number of supported students and the high availability of the learning solution. The project has been defined in a flexible way to facilitate the integration with other company business tools and the addition of new functionalities in an easy way.

“…• Communication channels. In order to implement the communication mechanisms between the framework components, Moodle web services [48] and BLTI [49] (an interoperability specification) were used. The former was used to exchange information and interaction with the LMS; and the latter to integrate in the LMS the students' outcomes in activity performed in other environments.…”

Information and communication technologies are changing the tools that people use in their daily life. Teaching and learning processes are also affected. These technologies emphasize the fact that learning is not always linked to an institution or a period of time. However, institutional learning systems do not support these issues, which makes necessary the definition of personal learning environments. This paper describes the experience of the application of a mobile version of these personal environments in an educational context. It allows students the definition of their own personal environments in their mobile device and it is able to exchange information with the institutional systems. From this experience, it is possible to say the definition of mobile personal learning environments is possible, it increases learners' motivation and enriches their learning; and at the same time, it is possible to take into account what the learners do beyond the institution.
