RESUMO

This work presents a mechanism to monitor interactions between students and pages in a Web based learning environment. There is a need for this type of mechanism due to the fact that most environments for distance education available on the Web, as well as their usage assessment tools, do not keep appropriate records about such interactions. This type of information is fundamental to support evaluation of students behavior and learning, adapt the system according to different learning models, and also to evaluate the environment itself. The tool development was motivated by a case study of a previously implemented Web based course. In this study, a specific monitoring mechanism was built, in which some problems and required changes were identified. Therefore, a new architecture was proposed for the monitoring tool, which was then implemented. Results presented in this work indicate a flexible, efficient, and reliable way to collect data. Even though this engine has been implemented in an educational environment, it can be used in any Web based application that requires more precise information about user interactions
