Abstract(s)
Currently the world around us "reboots" every minute and “staying at the forefront” seems to be a very
arduous task. The continuous and “speeded” progress of society requires, from all the actors, a
dynamic and efficient attitude both in terms progress monitoring and moving adaptation. With regard
to education, no matter how updated we are in relation to the contents, the didactic strategies and
technological resources, we are inevitably compelled to adapt to new paradigms and rethink the
traditional teaching methods. It is in this context that the contribution of e-learning platforms arises.
Here teachers and students have at their disposal new ways to enhance the teaching and learning
process, and these platforms are seen, at the present time, as significant virtual teaching and learning
supporting environments. This paper presents a Project and attempts to illustrate the potential that
new technologies present as a “backing” tool in different stages of teaching and learning at different
levels and areas of knowledge, particularly in Mathematics. We intend to promote a constructive
discussion moment, exposing our actual perception - that the use of the Learning Management
System Moodle, by Higher Education teachers, as supplementary teaching-learning environment for
virtual classroom sessions can contribute for greater efficiency and effectiveness of teaching practice
and to improve student achievement. Regarding the Learning analytics experience we will present a
few results obtained with some assessment Learning Analytics tools, where we profoundly felt that the
assessment of students’ performance in online learning environments is a challenging and demanding
task.
