A series of indicators have\u00a0<\/span><span>been implemented<\/span><span>\u00a0that are subsequently displayed through a learning analytics tool that was developed as part of the MT for Khan Academy (ALAS-KA). Finally, these indicators and ALAS-KA have been used to assess the actual process of experiential learning with students using Khan Academy at UC3M.

Firstly, it is primarily related to evaluation of learning, learning analytics and big data, as the MT presents a tool of learning analytics (analytical learning). This tool has been used in courses at the Universidad Carlos III with hundreds of students and large amounts of data, as a real experience related to the big data phenomenon. Moreover, this MT has also a direct relationship with the learning environments and MOOCs, as the development has been made for the Khan Academy. It could also be considered the the MT has a more indirect relationship with adaptation, adaptability and accessibility, since students metrics provided by ALAS-KA can be used to adapt the learning environment according to the needs of each student, send recommendations, or act as input for other types of actuators.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jose A.
