LOCO-Analyst is an educational tool aimed at providing teachers with feedback on the relevant aspects of the learning process taking place in a web-based learning environment, and thus helps them improve the content and the structure of their web-based courses. LOCO-Analyst aims at providing teachers with feedback regarding: *all kinds of activities their students performed and/or took part in during the learning process, *the usage and the comprehensibility of the learning content they had prepared and deployed in the LCMS, *contextualized social interactions among students (i.e., social networking) in the virtual learning environment.  +
The Learning Analytics Enriched Rubric (LA e-Rubric) is an advanced grading method used for criteria-based assessment. As a rubric, it consists of a set of criteria. For each criterion, several descriptive levels are provided. A numerical grade is assigned to each of these levels. An enriched rubric contains some criteria and related grading levels that are associated to data from the analysis of learners’ interaction and learning behavior in a Moodle course, such as number of post messages, times of accessing learning material, assignments grades and so on. Using learning analytics from log data that concern collaborative interactions, past grading performance and inquiries of course resources, the LA e-Rubric can automatically calculate the score of the various levels per criterion. The total rubric score is calculated as a sum of the scores per each criterion.  +
Quote from the [http://www.tal.univ-paris3.fr/lexico/index-gb.htm Home page]: <span style="background-color:#eeeeee" class="citation">“Lexico3 is the 2001 edition of the Lexico software, first published in 1990. Functions present from the first version (segmentation, concordances, breakdown in graphic form, characteristic elements and factorial analyses of repeated forms and segments) were maintained and for the most part significantly improved. The Lexico series is unique in that it allows the user to maintain control over the entire lexicometric process from initial segmentation to the publication of final results. Beyond identification of graphic forms, the software allows for study of the identification of more complex units composed of form sequences: repeated segments, pairs of forms in co-occurrences, etc which are less ambiguous than the graphic forms that make them up.”</span> A free version is available for "personal work", bottom of [http://www.tal.univ-paris3.fr/lexico/download.htm this page]  +
Quote from the home page: <span style="background-color:#eeeeee" class="citation">“This web-based tool enables you to "scrub" (clean) your unicode text(s), cut a text(s) into various size chunks, manage chunks and chunk sets, tokenize with character- or word- Ngrams or TF-IDF weighting, and choose from a suite of analysis tools for investigating those texts. Functionality includes building dendrograms, making graphs of rolling averages of word frequencies or ratios of words or letters, and playing with visualizations of word frequencies including word clouds and bubble visualizations. To facilitate subsequent text mining analyses beyond the scope of this site, users can also transpose and download their matricies of word counts or relative proportions as comma- or tab-separated files (.csv, .tsv).”</span>  +

There are other versions.  +
Log Parser is a flexible command line utility that was initially written by Gabriele Giuseppini, a Microsoft employee, to automate tests for IIS logging. It was intended for use with the Windows operating system, and was included with the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools. The default behavior of logparser works like a "data processing pipeline", by taking an SQL expression on the command line, and outputting the lines containing matches for the SQL expression. (From wikipedia) Microsoft describes Logparser as a powerful, versatile tool that provides universal query access to text-based data such as log files, XML files and CSV files, as well as key data sources on the Windows operating system such as the Event Log, the Registry, the file system, and Active Directory. The results of the input query can be custom-formatted in text based output, or they can be persisted to more specialty targets like SQL, SYSLOG, or a chart.  +
Log Parser studio graphical user interface (GUI) to function as a front-end to [[Log Parser|Log Parser 2.2]] and a ‘Query Library’ in order to manage all queries and scripts that one builds up over time. Log Parser Studio (LPS) can house all queries in a central location and allows to edit, create and save queries. You can search for queries using free text search as well as export and import both libraries and queries in different formats allowing for easy collaboration as well as storing multiple types of separate libraries for different protocols.  +

MAXQDA is a mixed methods research tool. There are two versions: * MAXQDA includes more classical QDA functionality (e.g. the ones that can be found in Atlas or Nvivo) + data management/import tools * MAXQDAplus contains the quantiative MAXDictio tool. According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAXQDA Wikipedia] (oct 2013), <span style="background-color:#eeeeee" class="citation">“MAXQDA is a software program designed for computer-assisted qualitative and mixed methods data, text and multimedia analysis in academic, scientific, and business institutions. It is the successor of winMAX, which was first made available in 1989.”</span>  +
Maps is a MediaWiki extension that provides the ability to visualize geographic data with dynamic, JavaScript based, mapping API's. It has built-in support for geocoding, displaying maps, displaying markers, adding pop-ups, and more.  +
