Towards a Learning Analytics Support for Intelligent Tutoring Systems on MOOC Platforms

Nowadays, many MOOC platforms have arisen to provide free knowledge. These platforms have a large catalog of courses for different specializations that progressively demand more specific learning resources and assessment methods to evaluate the progression of students. Current MOOC platforms are gradually giving support to these new requirements but with a limited assistance. This paper presents the state of art of the analytical system for three relevant MOOC platforms, one of the main pillars for analyzing the progression of courses. Other initiatives are also reviewed to show that current MOOC analytical systems are not ready to support custom MOOC-aware intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs). Thus, the design of a learning analytics system to assist these tools for MOOC platforms is presented.
