Abstract

Introduction: This article addresses the lack of analytical tools for evaluating teacher performance in Learning Management Systems such as Moodle, despite their ability to monitor student progress. Methodology: It describes the implementation of a data visualization strategy through direct database queries of Moodle and the use of business intelligence tools such as Metabase, Access, and Power BI. This enables the creation of customized reports on teacher-student interactions. Results: The development of these reports has enhanced the daily work of teachers on educational platforms and provided educational institutions with a valuable tool for analyzing and improving teaching processes. Discussions: The need to adapt educational technology for evaluating teacher performance is discussed, emphasizing the importance of these tools in the continuous improvement of educational quality. Conclusions: The implementation of advanced data visualization in LMS is crucial for optimizing higher education, enriching the educational experience, and strengthening institutional capabilities in response to the challenges of modern learning.
