Abstract

The quality of distance education courses have had significantly increaseament in recent years. New technologies have allowed better use and management of Virtual Learning Environments (VLE). However, this improvement goes beyond technology and several challenges must still be overcome. This work presents an analysis of access to the VLE as a way of planning actions and strategies for the reduction of existing barriers in the management of distance education courses. Thus, this work uses a Business Intelligence (BI) tool for collecting and analyzing data to allowing to make better decisions in relation to infrastructure, resources and teaching strategies.
