Abstract

Most educators focus on products (e.g., exams, portfolios, tests, assessments) rather than processes, i.e., the tangible cognitive/intellectual development during a learning activity. Nevertheless, the present book has placed emphasis mainly upon the characterization of the online instructional process, in order to scientifically analyze the opinions and actions (trends, profiles and modeling perspectives) of the users of the LMS Moodle in b-learning mode.
