Poster summary

This work aims to identify the possible Socio-affective Scenarios using Learning Analytics of recurrent students in a Virtual Learning Environment. This research with a qualitative and quantitative approach was carried out based on 13 case studies. The target audience was 285 students who participated in subjects and courses at a Brazilian public university. Data collected from the Social Map and the Affective Map were extracted in order to identify the relationship between these two aspects. As a result, 56 Socio-affective Scenarios were created using Learning Analytics to contribute to the analysis of students' learning profiles, allowing professors to develop pedagogical strategies consistent with the needs of each individual.
