Abstract

The unified modelling language UML is currently included in a large number of Information Systems tertiary curricula as part of systems analysis and design courses. However, existing literature suggests that learning UML poses significant challenges particularly for distance education learners. The aim of this paper is to investigate the use of learning analytics in learning UML. For this purpose, a learning intervention has been implemented and deployed in the Hellenic Open University. The results enable us to relate performance with students' participation, attendance and engagement, to identify common UML misconceptions and to evaluate the effectiveness of different learning objects for the task at hand.
