A workflow management tool to support the development of open learning analytics applications

Most of the approaches of Learning Analytics rely on a predefined set of indicators, and most of the tools used to analyse learning traces focus on a specific aspect, thus lacking in flexibility to provide multiple analysis. In this perspective, Learning Analytics tools must be more flexible in order to support personalized Learning Analytics approaches in which indicators are defined by users. In this paper, we present a workflow management tool aimed at supporting the development of Learning Analytics applications specifically designed to deal with students' interactions in online learning management systems. A use case in which the tool has been used to detect students at risk of dropout is also illustrated.
