The learning analytics and institutional research based on the usage of Moodle after COVID-19 pandemic

Many universities had to use online based education in 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic. For asynchronous education, LMS (Learning Management Systems) such as Moodle were used. In this paper, learning analytics and institutional research were done based on the logs of Moodle, focused on during the COVID-19 pandemic. The analytics of four cases were done; (1) the numbers of modules, (2) the monthly learners' access logs (3) the monthly usage per activities, and (4) how many feedbacks were done with assignments modules. Although the usage of Moodle was highly increased from that of before the pandemic, usage of providing resources such as PDFs and videos were main cases. In addition to this, the number of feedbacks differed widely according to the courses. Although the COVID-19 pandemic might cause the increasing of the usage of Moodle, there is a room for improvement in the way of its usage.
