| Descripción: | The object of this research was to demonstrate how relevant information can be extracted from Web Analytics to develop a Learning Analytics environment in virtual courses and implement metrics correlated to academic performance. In this sense, the methodology presented a non-experimental research design, with a correlational descriptive scope and a longitudinal data collection. The population was made up of first-cycle students from an asynchronous academic research course and the sample was represented by 59 students. The information collected included data generated by each student in three aspects: visits to pages within the course, participation in course activities (forums, assignments, questionnaires, etc.) and grades. The results showed the following average behavior of the students: 3809 visits per week, 563 visits per day, 143 participations per week and 21 participations per day. When relating the web metrics to academic performance (grades), the following values were obtained, corresponding to Spearman’s Rho: 0.628 (p <0.00) between visits and grades and 0.638 (p <0.00) between participations and grades. Finally, it could be concluded that metrics based on Web Analytics are a primary source to start the development of an environment associated with Learning Analytics. Likewise, a directly proportional relationship of web metrics with academic performance was shown. |
