Abstract

The present work describes the challenges faced during the development of a countrywide Learning Analytics tool focused on tracking the trajectories of Uruguayan students during their first three years of secondary education. Due to the large-scale of the project, which covers an entire national educational system, several challenges and constraints (both technical and legal) were faced during its conception and development. This paper presents the design decisions and solutions found to address or mitigate the problems found, with the current state of the project. Early results point out the feasibility of finding meaningful patterns in the available data (using data mining techniques) which can be embedded into a prototype for tracking the students scholar trajectory.
