Aggregation by Tool Type: Aggregates data by tools (e.g., forums, quizzes), helping teachers evaluate the effectiveness of different tools.
Disaggregation of Specific Content: Breaks down interactions with specific content like quiz results or forum responses, helping identify areas of interest or difficulty.
Support in Decision-Making: Provides data to adapt teaching approaches, identify improvement areas, and personalize learning experiences.
Evaluation of Compliance: Analyzes whether students follow teacher recommendations and uses this information to refine teaching strategies.

Description
This plugin has been developed by WIDE Services and Universidad de Cantabria (Ruth Villalon & Diego Garcia) under the ORWELL project, thanks to an Erasmus+ grant.
A plugin has been developed for Moodle, a tool for extracting and synthesizing statistics on student use of the platform. Among the functions offered by the plugin are included:
- Session and time spent tracking: the plugin allows tracking the number of logins on the platform and the total time spent on each of the learning activities. This provides the teacher with a global view of student participation and time spent in the virtual learning environment.
- Aggregation by tool type: Allows data to be aggregated by tool type, such as forums or quizzes. This function is essential as it allows teachers to obtain specific information on how students interact with each of the platform's tools and to help them evaluate the effectiveness of the different tools in the learning process.
- Disaggregation of specific content: By allowing disaggregation of specific data, the plugin understands how students interact with specific content, such as quiz results or responses to forum posts. This can help teachers identify resources of interest and difficulties encountered by students.
- Support in decision-making: As we already know, the plugin provides information about the learning process, and thus becomes a valuable tool for decision making. The data can be used to adapt teaching approaches, to identify areas for improvement and to personalize the learning experience.
- Evaluation of compliance with teacher recommendations: With all the information collected, teachers can analyse whether their recommendations about the teaching process and the resources they are providing are being used by students. This will allow the evaluation of teaching strategies that will lead to the necessary adjustments to improve academic performance.
