Educators participating in networked learning communities have very little support from integrated tools in evaluating students' learning activities flow and examining learners' online behaviour. There is a need for non-intrusive ways to monitor learners' progress in order better to follow their learning process and appraise the online course effectiveness. This paper presents a conceptual framework and an innovative tool, called LMSAnalytics, that allows teachers and evaluators easily to track the learners' online behaviour, make judgments about learners' activity flow and gain a better insight about the knowledge constructed and skills acquired in a networked learning environment. (Contains 5 figures.)
