Abstract
Abstract
Despite the wide acceptance of blended learning in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) worldwide, the issue of monitoring its implementation has been little addressed in the literature. The paper presents the results of the first stage of the study for the development and implementation of tools for monitoring the degree of use of blended learning courses within the learning process in HEIs. The tool introduced here extracts data from the database of the e-learning environment and visualizes the results of the data analysis in dashboards that provide valuable insights to decision-making for improving the quality of blended learning implementation. The tool allows governing bodies to track trends in the user registration, development, and updating of blended learning courses, the number of learners, and the usability of the courses by users for a selected period. Based on the results of tool experimental testing, goals for its further development are set.
