The increasing digitalization of the education system is prompting a different approach to more individualize feedback, especially in the context of large groups. Learning Management Systems are equipped with global statistical analysis modules, which are expensive to license on their own, providing analyses for the different teaching activities carried out on the platform, including personalize alert systems to identify gaps in compliance with scheduled activities. Other educational activities that take place outside the platform generate data that may not be recorded there. Therefore, the processing of data from various sources can be developed using analytics tools, facilitating the construction of interactive dashboards for teachers and students to consult. This results in data that allows students to be informed of their performance on a regular basis and in a personalize way. This study presents architecture designed to accompany a 1st year and 1st semester course in a management degree program with over 300 students. This architecture is made up of three management tools: an APP for teachers, an interactive dashboard for teachers and students and an individualize weekly report sent by email to students. This personalized report compares individual performance with the class and explains the results of the weekly mini-tests carried out in lectures and workshops. It also includes periodic assessment tests and activities carried out on the platform. The report concludes with a text appropriate to the week’s performance. The study is completed with an analysis of student satisfaction with the information made available to them, concluding that it generates a positive perception of their motivation and self-esteem that access to the dashboard and individualize report provides.
