Descripción:Due to Covid-19, educational institutions had to change traditional educational practices to virtual modality, representing significant challenges on the planning, mediating, and evaluating processes. Learning analytics are a set of innovative tools in the pedagogical area, in which the use of data can contribute to the improvement of courses and educational policies. This work aims to carry out a descriptive reflection of the learning analytics evaluating the effect of the pandemic on the overall performance of the subject. For this purpose, a quantitative investigation was carried out by studying the grades in the subject of Chemistry I during the 2018-2021 period at the UNED, Costa Rica. The overall performance and approval of the subject experienced an increase in the average grade during the period 2020-2021. In addition, some significant differences were found between the mean grades according to the demographic regions of the country. However, it is necessary to make efforts in order to measure the quality of the learning achieved in the subject and the degree of satisfaction of the students according to the learning objectives that have been achieved in the course.
