Abstract

Learning processes supported by multimodal interaction systems demand effective tools to measure learner performance and provide meaningful feedback to stakeholders. This paper reviews key features and discusses the implementation of a learning analytics tool that is part of an e-learning multimodal dialogue system, which, in turn, is part of an immersive environment to support different learning scenarios.
