(18) (PDF) Framework for Big Data Analytics of Moodle Data Using Hadoop in the Cloud

“Big Data includes huge volume, high velocity and extensible variety of data, both structured and unstructured. Analysis and examination of this data plays a big role in making a better decisions and lead to strategic business moves. In this research, we are focusing on analysis of Moodle e-learning platform database with aim of improving the educational process. Using the concept of learning analytics we are trying to better understand teaching and learning processes in order to get as much as possible from educators and learners which are the main actors in the mentioned activities. The standard procedures that are specific to the databases will take a lot more time to do this. To facilitate this process, big data processing tools are used. Here, we also present the possibility of analyzing big data in the cloud. For the purpose of this research, we developed a framework for big data analysis.”

Moodle plugins directory: Graylog Logstore

Logstore plugin for moodle to ship logs to graylog or other log backends which supports the GELF format. This plugin requires that you have a working Graylog node. Open source Graylog can be downloaded for free from graylog2.org. Transport protocols TCP and UDP are supported.

Log timestamp in Graylog is directly taken from moodle log entry’s timecreated. Useful when importing logs from moodle to graylog in a live moodle installation.

The array in other column in standard logstore is sent as a JSON string as of now. Users can use the “JSON Extractor” feature of Graylog in the other field to store them as separate fields in Graylog.

A Quick Look at Piwik Analytics for Moodle | Some Random Thoughts

Two years ago we built and released a Google Analytics feature for Moodle which offered some robust reporting for Moodle – beyond the standard url logging it logged the breadcrumb from Moodle – see here for details. This was released as a plugin on the Moodle plugin directory.

David Bezemer of UP Learning took this concept/plugin and then expanded it to included Piwik an open source analytics system. The plugin is also available in the plugin directory.

Using this plugin requires you to install your own copy of Piwik separately, which you can use for all your websites. So I used it for the Moodlemoot Edinburgh this year, and below include some of the reports that were possible to generate from it.
